Title: any way to get a live video stream, eg., RTSP, from these cameras?
Post by: thetoolwiz on May 25, 2014, 10:24:14 PM

I'm looking to test some IP video client software I'm writing, and it's designed to connect directly to either an RTSP or RTSM video stream, which usually defaults to port #554.

I don't want to have to deal with HTTP protocols. Just the video stream that's embedded inside of the web page.

Is there any way I can get access to the h.264/MPEG4 or MJPEG video streams directly?

For some DCS models, I've seen reference to rtsp://IPADDRESS:554/live1.sdp (or live2, live3)
Some reference play1.sdp (or play2, play3).
I have not had any success getting these to work on my DCS-932L, however.

I'm going to try a 2200 (DCS-2132L) which appears to have support for RTSP/RTSC/RTP protocols.

Also, I need MPEG4, which the 931L doesn't support either.

Thanks.

FYI, in that list, it only shows that the DCS-2132L supports http: protocols.

It also supports rtsp: protocols for several streams that end in .sdp

They're documented in the PDF manual for the product.

Thanks.  That thread I provided contains a link for posting new feeds that you uncover (either by playing or referenced in documentation).  ;)
