Video Stream URLs

When processing video, you will first need to connect to your video stream. RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is a common format supported by most modern cameras for obtaining a video stream from the camera. An RTSP URL allows EyesOnIt to connect to your camera to receive its video stream. You will need to use the camera app or configuration UI to retrieve the RTSP URL for your specific camera.

A typical RTSP URL will look something like this:

rtsp://username:password@ip_address/path

Be sure to check documentation to ensure that a camera allows RTSP access before you purchase a new camera to use with EyesOnIt.
