RTSP Streaming
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; there can be potential risks of being intercepted. If digest
authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted in MD5 algorithm and
thus provide better protection against unauthorized accesses.
Access name for stream 1 or Access name for stream 2:
The access name is
used to differentiate the streaming source. When using an RTSP player (e.g. Quick
time) to access the Network Camera, and the video mode is set to MPEG-4, use the
following RTSP URL command to request a transmission of streaming data.
rtsp://<ip address>:<rtsp port>/<access name for stream1 or stream2>
For example, when the access name for stream 1 is set to live sdp:
1. Launch a RTSP player
2. Choose File > Open URL. An URL dialog box will pop up.
3. Type the URL command in the text box.
RTSP port or RTP port for video, audio/ RTCP port for video, audio
The RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media.
By default, the port number is set to 554.
The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used to deliver video and audio data to
the clients. By default, the RTP port for video is set to 5556 and the RTP port for
audio is set to 5558.
The RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol) allows the Network Camera to
transmit the data by monitoring Internet traffic volume. By default, the RTCP port for
video is set to 5557 and the RTCP port for audio is set to 5559.
