When I was in the Marine Corps they told me there was no such thing as a stupid question, but then after asking a question I was inevitably always called stupid. With that said: how can I access video streams other than via the cameras GUI or using the VMS? Below are the methods given in the standard Axis User Manual, but where do these paths get entered into? What about any other methods to view streams? And please, keep as simple as possible. Make it “Grunt Proof”.
Windows Media Player. This requires AXIS Media Control and the H.264 decoder to be installed. The following paths
can be used:
- Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
- Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
- Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
- Multicast: axrtpm://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
- QuickTimeTM. The following paths can be used:
- rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
- rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.3gp
