RTSP Streaming

Camera rst; please refer to Security on page 27 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, but there can be potential

risks of it being intercepted� If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using

MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.

The availability of the 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�

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

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

2� Choose File > Open URL� A URL dialog box will pop up�

3� Type the URL command in the text box� For example:
