RTSP Streaming
To utilize RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that you have set a password for the Network
Camera first; please refer to Security on page 26 for details�
Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three
types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest.
If
basic
authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, there can be potential risks
of it being intercepted� If
digest
authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5
algorithm, which provides stronger protection against unauthorized access.
The availability of RTSP streaming for the three authentication modes is listed in the following table:
Access name for stream 1 / Access name for stream 2: This Network camera supports dual streams
simultaneously� The access name is used to differentiate the streaming source�
If you want to use an
RTSP player
to access the Network Camera, you must set the video mode to
MPEG-4
and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data�
rtsp://
For example, when the access name for
stream 1
is set to
live�sdp
:
1� Launch an RTSP player�
2� Choose File > Open URL� A URL dialog box will pop up�
3� Type the URL command in the text box� For example:
4� The live video will be displayed in your player as shown
below�
