For HTTP push server (MJPEG): 
http://<servername>/<network_http_s<m>_accessname>?maxsft=<value>[&tsmode=<value>&refti
me=<value>&forcechk&minsft=<value>] 
For RTSP (MP4 and H264), the user needs to input the URL below into an RTSP compatible player. 
rtsp://<servername>/<network_rtsp_s<m>_accessname>?maxsft=<value>[&tsmode=<value>&refti
me=<value>&forcechk&minsft=<value>] 
“n” is the channel index.

(*Note: this parameter also works on non-timeshift 
streams.) 
reftime  mm:ss  The time 
camera 
receives the 
request.
Reference time for maxsft and minsft. 
(This provides more precise time control to eliminate 
the inaccuracy due to network latency.) 
Ex: Request the streaming from 12:20 
rtsp://10.0.0.1/live.sdp?maxsft=10&reftime=12:30 
forcechk  N/A  N/A  Check if the requested stream enables timeshift, 
feature and if minsft is achievable.
