Re stream AXIS Q704 H.264 video

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I am very new to this, so I apologize if this is remedial problem.

We are in the process of switching out Axix encoders over from Windows Media Encoder to using Wowza to stream the video on our internet site.

I am trying to just set the stream up, first following the instructions for the flash only example.

I’ve used the provided application.xml file, and set the

camera.stream file to have the following line:

axrtpu:///axis-media/media.amp

or

axrtpu:///axis-media/

then using the live.html file to test using Flash, all I get is:

Failed to play camera.stream; stream not found.

Also, I don’t see where i need to enter the Username/Pw for the actual connection to the Axis encoder.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil

Neil,

I use rtsp url like this:

rtsp://username:password@[axis-camera-address]:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264

Also, you can define stream profiles with custom settings, or add querystring params to customize stream:

rtsp://user:password@[axis-camera-address]:554/axis-media/media.amp?streamprofile=profile1
rtsp://user:password@[axis-camera-address]:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264Resolution=320x240&compression=30&audio=1

Good question, and I don’t know where that is documented and what all the possible parameters are. I’ve looked. I picked up on the querystring method of setting encoder params from Wowza forum posters.

Perfect, that solved it.

Thanks!!

Thanks Richard, that is excellent.

Is there a document somewhere (on the Axis site??) that list what the parameter options are?

I haven’t found much on their site.

Thanks again!

You can find the whole documentation about Axis-Products on the Developer-Pages in the VAPIX:

You should know your Cam-Firmware-Version.
