IP camera (RTSP/RTP re-streaming) Authentication [ username and password ]

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi,

I re-stream video from an IP camera (RTSP/RTP re-streaming) but some IP cameras need Authentication.

In many models i can disable Authentication for RTSP. But for security reason this may not be the right solution.

Does WOWZA server support this kind of authentication?

If so while I re-stream RTSP/RTP source according to to the tutorial How to re-stream video from an IP camera where should I put IP cameras username-password pairs?

Best Wishes

It simply works

rtsp://username:password@192.168.X.XXX/stream1

without any other setting.

Thanks…

you usually have to enter the complete address when creating the stream files, the address syntax depends on the cam manufacturer or model, but it´s usually this way:

rtsp://USER:PASS@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
