Hi There I have AXIS M3204 IP camera and I am trying to restream from wowza server. I followed [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming) but when I try to play the stream with Wowza server using vlc, it says unable to play. I can play raw rtsp H.264 stream coming from IP camera on the server using vlc and I double checked the codecs it was coming fine as H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10. Again I re-encoded the rtsp streaming coming from IP camera using FFMPEG into H.264/MPEG-4 and asked wowza server to stream it worked. But I can not use this work around because I have to restream almost 120 IP cameras. I am using windows 2012 server for wowza server hosting. I have another installation of wowza developer version on my macbook pro, with same configuration I was able to re-stream from my macbook. Please help!!! Thanks Nirbhay K ---

I am prompted for a username and password when I try to stream from that camera in VLC. You can add those inline in the URL like this: rtsp://richard:myPwd@sandeeppatil.dlinkddns.com:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=low You mentioned FFmpeg in the first post, that should not be necessary with this camera, but it doesn’t look like it is involved in the log messages.

Do you guys need my windows 2012 server creds. I can give you in private message. I really need to sort this problem out ASAP ---

I disabled windows firewall and everything started working. Strange but even on firewall turned on I was able to play stream in vlc but Wowza was not able to restream. Turning off firewall resolved the issue for me. ---

You can use the RTMP client running directly on the Axis camera. See [http://camstreamer.com](http://camstreamer.com)
