RTSP Streaming

To utilize the RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that your have set a password for the Network

Camera rst; 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 being intercepted� If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted in MD5 algorithm

and thus provide better protection against unauthorized accesses�

The accessibility of the RTSP streaming for the three authentication modes are 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 a RTSP player to access the Network Camera, you have to set the video mode to

MPEG-4, and use the following RTSP URL command to request a transmission of streaming data�

rtsp://<ip address>:<rtsp port>/<access name for stream1 or stream2>

For example, when the access name for stream 1 is set to live�sdp:

1� Launch a RTSP player�

2� Choose File > Open URL� An 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 below�

rtsp://192.168.5.106:554/live.sdp
