The userid and password for the camera are passed like this:

You’re welcome. I have an axis cam, the m-1011w. Glad it’s working.

Use a .stream file located in content folder that contains the rtsp url, then start a stream in StreamManager with that name (for example axis.stream) with MediaCaster type “rtp”

Then use stream name “axis.stream”, which contains the credentials, in http mu38 url:

```auto
http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/axis.stream/playlist.m3u8

```

You might check Axis for firmware update to see if it adds that capability.

If not, a work-around is to turn off codec reporting so the older phone will just play it. To do that, set the two properties in this post to “false”

The stream based on the specs of the how to and Richard user/password configuration got me working great in jw player in the flash but how would I take this same solution and make it work on a ipad or iphone device?

</div>

it works great for the iPad and safari browser on OsX, but fails on iPhone… what would do that… maybe the stream is too big for the phone?

Here is the test page with the stream:

The stream is Baseline profile Level 4.1. The specs for the iPhone 3gs state Baseline Level 3 and below.

The above stream, will play on later iPhone / iOS based devices (4, 4S iPad etc…)

See if you can reduce the stream’s encoding quality settings for the Profile level down to 3.0 or below.

That should help.

Can you check/modify the resolution of the video stream provided by your IP camera.

I see from the iPhone 3GS specs that the max. resolution is 480x320 ([http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3gs/specs.html](http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3gs/specs.html))

In case your camera has a larger video output resolution, you need either to modify the video resolution output to a lower setting, or to use the transcoder addon to re-size it.

There is a tutorial on [How to set up and run Wowza Transcoder AddOn for live streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-run-wowza-transcoder-for-live-streaming)

The basics on configuring and running the Transcoder AddOn are described in that tutorial.

Using this addon implies an extra cost as it is licensed separately, so depending on the license you are using, check with Sales ([sales@wowza.com](mailto:sales@wowza.com)) on ways to receive and enable the Transcoder license.

Thanks
