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 Channel # and stream #: 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
to access the Network Camera, you
HAVE TO
set the video mode to
H.264
and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data.
rtsp://<ip address>:<rtsp port>/<access name for stream1 ~ 4>
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 above URL command in the address field.
4. The live video will be displayed in your player as shown
