Hello!

I tried nearly 2 days to get Wowza working with an Axis 213 PTZ - until now with no result.

Notice: The Axis 213 PTZ does not support H.264.

The way to reciefe an MPEG4-Stream form a 213 PTZ:

rtsp://username:password@[axis-camera-address]:554/mpeg4/media.amp?resolution=352x288&compression=50

Works fine with VLC, does not work with Wowza. I have no more idea what to do…

I tried “rtplive” and “live” with the above URL in a \*.stream file.

Other Stream-Projects with Axis-Producs with H.264-support work with no Problem…

Example:

My Wowza:

Wowza Media Server 2 Subscription 2.2.3 build26454

Christian,

Take a look at this VLC guide, which includes an example of transcoding rtsp stream:
