In Firefox, select Tools > Add-ons from the menu bar. In the search box, enter VLC, then select 'VLC Web Plugin' and
install it.
At this point, direct the web browser to the camera web interface and select Camera > ViewCamera > Live Streaming >
Play Stream 1 This should display the camera live video after a short delay.
At the bottom of the page, selecting the link address following 'Main Stream RTSP Link:' should launch the standalone
VLC media player and display the live video feed. If instead, a message similar to 'Firefox does not know how to open
RTSP files' is displayed, then follow these steps :-
In the address bar of Firefox, enter
about:config
Read and inwardly digest the dire warnings, then click “I'll be careful, I promise!”.
In the list view, right click and select New > Boolean
For 'Preference Name' enter 'network.protocol-handler.expose.rtsp' and set the value to 'False'
Close the page, and return to the camera live streaming page.
Click on the RTSP link again, Firefox should launch a 'Launch Application' dialog. Click 'Choose', and navigate to the
VLC Media Player application. This is probably located at 'Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > VideoLAN
> VLC' and called 'vlc.exe'.
Click 'Open', then tick the box 'Remember my choice for rtsp links.', then click 'OK'.
Retry the RTSP link if necessary, Firefox should now open the VLC standalone player.
In some cases the above procedure will not work on PCs running Windows. In this case, it may be necessary to add a
'key' to the Windows Registry to indicate the required action. Some hints are provided at “Making Windows handle
RTSP URLs” at the NCSA IT Services wiki.
(https://wiki.ncsa.illinois.edu/display/ITS/RTSP+URLs).
In short, create a file in Notepad, containing the following text:-
Save the file as 'rtsp.reg' and save it on the desktop. Double click the icon and follow the instructions to add it to the
Windows Registry. This should then allow the web browser to correctly handle RTSP video links.
