mkkoskin 0 Posted July 24, 2013 What are you trying to do exactly? Get image to browser to avoid the need for rtsp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmax1940 0 Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah trying to deliver the stream from the camera to the browser without the need for a plugin like flash activex, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cricket 0 Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah trying to deliver the stream from the camera to the browser without the need for a plugin like flash activex, etc. I don't think it will work. IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera None of them supports RTSP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted July 26, 2013 It's a such a great idea if it only worked. RTSP is not a supported HTML protocol. You can give people the RTSP string and they can see your camera using VLC, but you can't embed it in HTML. Also, some camera brands give you a streaming URL (not RTSP) you can put on a webpage, it's going to ask them install ActiveX controls or a plugin, may not work on other browsers, pretty messy. to do it right, you need to convert RTSP to RTMP which is easy enough, but you a need PC/server to run the program that does the conversion. Then it loads a flash or html5 player on the fly, not a big deal, done all the time across many website with webcams. Actually VLC can do this but it does so very poorly. I have an article on my blog that's a good starting point. If you don't have a PC or time to setup a streaming server, there are many streaming services like ustream.tv and others. Just use Google to find them. Some are free if you don't mind advertising but expect to pay a monthly fee depending on usage. I've never tried them so can't recommend anyone in particular.

Caporeira 0 Posted September 21, 2013 I have this camera. She has two streams (main and sub), main is high resolution and sub is lowest resolution. But sub stream looks like zoom in (on this screen I see less area as main stream), how can I change it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
