This article applies to the following cameras:
C-12
C-08
Connecting Directly to Camera Streams
The Camera Streams can be tested by connecting directly to camera streams (MJPEG, H.264 & H.265) using your media player. For this you will require your camera’s IP address and the appropriate URL as shown below:
URL example format:
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/MJPEG/video.sdp?name=MP1
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/MJPEG/video.sdp?name=MP2
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/MJPEG/video.sdp?name=MP3
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/MJPEG/video.sdp?name=MP4
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h264/video.sdp?name=MP1
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h264/video.sdp?name=MP2
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h264/video.sdp?name=MP3
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h264/video.sdp?name=MP4
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h265/video.sdp?name=MP1
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h265/video.sdp?name=MP2
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h265/video.sdp?name=MP3
rtsp://Camera_ip_address:port_number/h265/video.sdp?name=MP4
For example, if the C-12 camera has the IP address 192.168.0.100, port 554 (H.264 RTSP stream is port 554), then the URL for MP1 would be:
rtsp://192.168.0.100:554/h264/video.sdp?name=MP1
For access to all streaming URL’s the username and password is required.
Required codec (MJPEG, H.264, H.265) must be selected in the media profile to be streamed. Only one MJPEG encoder can be set.
Selecting the video codec in the camera UI
1. Select Video/Audio>Media Profiles.
2. Select the Edit icon for the media profile that you want to stream.
3. Select the Video Compression Type drop down list and select the desired codec.
4. Scroll down and click Save Changes.
*NOTE: If you are using a video decoder to stream the video, ensure that the video decoder supports the resolution that you are requesting from the camera.
