to create a custom RSTP profile for the
selected camera.
Note
If your camera model is not included in the com-
patibility list, you also have the option of setting up
the camera on the recorder using an RTSP
streaming profile. To do this, you will need the
RTSP URL for the camera live stream, which you
can find in the user guide for your camera or re-
quest from the manufacturer.
Protocol
Here you can create a custom RTSP profile, which can
then be assigned to a camera in the "Custom Adding"
menu.
Note
If you integrate a camera using RTSP, only the
video image from the camera will be available on
the recorder. Camera control functions (e.g. PTZ)
and motion detection are not supported.
