Summary

RTSP which stands for Real Time Streaming Protocol is a standard protocol for transmitting video and audio.  You can control the video stream using methods such as DESCRIBE/SETUP/PLAY etc.

Just like many other CCTV devices, SSM supports Live Streaming through RTSP.

This document explains how to request live streaming from the SSM server via RTSP.

NOTE: This guide is based on SSM version v2.10.13_220425

Step By Step Guide:

·  Type #1 : Using Camera GUID

  RTSP URL Format:

 1. This method uses the GUID within SSM.  A GUID is a unique ID individually assigned

    when registering a camera in SSM. (Composed of 32 digits alphabet/number)

 2. Go to [Configuration] Tab -> [Device] -> [Registration]

    Please check the SSM server IP address and GUID of the camera that you wish to

    receive the live video stream.

  3. From the above example, the RTSP URL would look like below

     rtsp://192.168.11.79:4515/6e608631-819c-4190-b14d-14bf1a78998/2/media.smp

  * The default RTSP port is 4515 which can be changed from SSM Service Manager

    The profile number means the camera’s profile number which you can get from

    Camera information as an example below. 

Type #2 : Using shortcut number

RTSP URL Format:

1. This method is similar to Type #1 but uses shortcuts instead of complex GUID

   numbers.

2. Go to [Configuration] Tab -> [Device] -> [Registration] and select a camera.

    Please set a unique Shortcut number in the Camera information as below.

3. From the above example, the RTSP URL would look like below.

   rtsp://192.168.11.79:4515/shortcut_123/2/media.smp
