Step 1: Be sure that you are on the same network as the device you're trying to discover advanced users can also try to find a stream address for remotely accessible cameras as well, just use the "Add" button and specify the public address and forwarded ONVIF port of the remote device.
Step 5: Copy the stream address, shown under the live video, to your clipboard be sure to replace your local IP address with the public one when connecting directly.
Note: if your camera is password protected, be sure to enter your credentials in the upper left corner. Step 3: Paste the stream address from your clipboard and delete everything except the part after the port.

The RTSP stream needed for a program or direct viewing depends on what a person might want to do with the stream. Other programs might not need the prefix but usually require the user to specify that it is an RTSP stream. By default our cameras are shipped with a This leads us to an RTSP stream that looks like as follows:. Depending on the settings on the device, user credentials may be required for the link to work.
For example, check out the following RTSP stream. This stream will work for most media players or programs. The commands can be used to determine what channel the stream should come from on a recorder or which stream quality the user wants to stream over RTSP Mainstream or Substream from a recorder or camera.
The commands go after the? The command can be channel or subtype or both. Here are a few examples of choices that can be made using the commands.
In layman's terms the mainstream is the full resolution and the substream is a lower resolution and less data intensive stream.
This is useful when streaming to the internet if the upload speed at a location is not fast enough to transmit the full mainstream. Check out the example below of the mainstream or substream arguments:. Channel is used for a stream from a recorder and determines which channel the stream should come from. Not only can you do one command at a time you can combine two commands for a specific stream from a recorder.
A user can replace the channel number or stream type as they see fit. Fetching the RTSP stream from a security camera or recorder involves transcoding the native stream. This transcoding not only has a CPU overhead on the device you are fetching the stream from, it introduces a delay or lag in the video stream.
To demonstrate what to expect from RTSP streaming, we made the below video comparing the RTSP stream fetched from one of our 4K security cameras in 12MP mode to real live action, and to direct streaming from the camera's web service. The best way to gather your RTSP addresses is to send a request to your device supplier or manufacturer to provide you this information. You will need to specify the complete address when connecting the device directly or, when using AngelBox, the bold parts only.
For most devices it is a RTSP port, usually Each manufacturer uses its own. Separates the path and individual parameters. Not all parameters are necessary in some cases.
