RTSP Support

Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is an application-level protocol for the

transfer of real-time video data. The S1800e series support the RTSP protocol

to stream H.264 and MPEG4 video to third party media players like VLC or

Apple QuickTime.

Note

The S1800e series does not support the streaming of audio.

The URL to view video from S1800e series is: rtsp://<unit_ip_

address>/media/<channel>/video/<index>

Where:

<unit_ip_address> is the IP address of the S1800e

<channel> is the input number (1 to 8 for S1808e, 1 to 16 for S1816e and 1

for S1801e)

<index> is the encoder number (1-3 for the S1808e and S1816e (encoders 1

and 2 will stream in H.264 and encoder 3 will stream in MPEG4), 1 to 4 for

the S1801e (encoders 1 to 3 will stream in H.264 and encoder 4 will stream

in MPEG4).

Note

RTSP is not available when the global security profile is enabled.
