RTSP is a network control protocol designed for controlling streaming media servers. The protocol is used for establishing and controlling media sessions between end points.
RTSP transmits video/audio data by using RTP. Below is a list of RTSP URL's by device type.
RTSP URL's:
IP Cameras
rtsp://<DeviceIP>/profile<no>/media.smp
rtsp://<DeviceIP>:port/profile<no>/media.smp
rtsp://user:password@<DeviceIP>:port/profile<no>/media.smp
* RTSP PORT
The default port for RTSP Protocol is 554. It can be changed as necessary.
Available ports are 1024-65535 & 554. Ports 3702, 49152 are not available.
Example: rtsp://192.168.1.100/profile2/media.smp
Multi-Sensor IP Cameras & Encoders
rtsp://<DeviceIP>:<port>/<sensor#>/profile2/media.smp
rtsp://admin:<password>@<DeviceIP>:<port>/<sensor#>/profile2/media.smp
Sensor # range is from 0-3 (0 = Sensor 1, 1 = Sensor 2…)
Examples: PNM-9081VQ, PNM-9080VQ, PNM-9322VQP, PNM-9002VQ, or PNM-7002VD
Camera 1: rtsp://<IP address>/0/profile2/media.smp
Camera 2: rtsp://<IP address>/1/profile2/media.smp
Camera 3: rtsp://<IP address>/2/profile2/media.smp
Camera 4: rtsp://<IP address>/3/profile2/media.smp
MJPEG
Getting MJPEG stream with resolution of 800x450, frame rate of 15 and compression level of 10
http://<Device IP>/stwcgi/video.cgi?msubmenu=stream&action=view&Profile=1&CodecType=MJPEG&Resolution=800x450&FrameRate=15&CompressionLevel=10
NVR
rtsp://<DeviceIP>:port/LiveChannel/0/media.smp
Channel numbering starts at 0.
The RTSP port for NVRs will be the last Device Port set on the unit. i.e. if device port is set to 554-558, 558 will be the port for the RTSP URL.
DVR
rtsp://<DeviceIP>:port/<camera>camera numbering starts at 0.
The RTSP port for DVRs will be the last Device Port set on the unit. i.e. if device port is set to 4520-4524, 4524 will be the port for the RTSP URL.
