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 28 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 ~ 3
: This Network Camera supports multiple streams simultaneously. The
access name is used to differentiate the streaming source�
If you want to use an
RTSP player

H�264 / MPEG-4
and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming
data�
