RTSP – Real Time Streaming Protocol

The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) uses TCP communication for an end-to-end connection between devices.  Used in combination with DW Spectrum, an RTSP URL can be utilized to connect a device or camera to a DW Spectrum Server if the device cannot be added through an ONVIF protocol.

This article will list the common RTSP URL document for Digital Watchdog’s various camera series.

 

**NOTE: Alternative methods of obtaining an RTSP URL would be through ONVIF Device Manager (ODM) or through DW Spectrum (working stream).

 

Supported/Affected Devices

  • DW MEGApix IP Camera Series
  • DW MEGApix PANO Camera Series
  • DW MEGApix CaaS Camera Series
  • DW MEGApix Ai Camera Series
