Before customizing the protocol for the network camera, you have to contact the manufacturer of
the network camera to consult the URL (uniform resource locator) for getting main stream and
sub-stream.
The format of the URL is: [Type]://[IP Address of the network camera]:[Port]/[Path].
Example: rtsp://192.168.1.55:554/ch1/main/av_stream.
 Protocol Name: Edit the name for the custom protocol.
 Enable Substream: If the network camera does not support sub-stream or the sub-stream is
not needed leave the checkbox empty.
 Type: The network camera adopting custom protocol must support getting stream through
standard RTSP.
 Transfer Protocol: Select the transfer protocol for the custom protocol.
 Port: Set the port No. for the custom protocol.
 Path: Set the resource path for the custom protocol. E.g., ch1/main/av_stream.
The protocol type and the transfer protocols must be supported by the connected network
camera.

list, please refer to Figure 2-36.
