Share Stream Path

You can right-click on any of your cameras and select Share stream path to get the RTSP, RTSP-over-HTTP, and Multicast URLs.

To set up the stream path expiration duration:

Select an option from the Duration of validity drop-down menu:

• 1 hour: Refresh the stream path every hour.
• forever: The stream path will never timeout.

RTSP

• This path uses port 554.
• RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a common protocol defined in RFC2326.

RTSP-over-HTTP

• This path uses the HTTP port configured in DSM.
• RTSP-over-HTTP is an RTSP via HTTP protocol. With this URL, users can access streaming data in an environment with a firewall or with NAT (Network Address Translation) applied.

Multicast

• This path uses port 554.
• With a Multicast URL, the same camera's data can be streamed to multiple users at the same time, with higher performance and lower usage of the server's bandwidth.
