Streams

Add Media Stream

It is possible to add MJPEG and RTSP streams to the WebFront by using the special media type Stream. Further information and the address can be found in the documentation of the utilized web camera. The size of the stream can be parameterized by the configuration of the web camera. The complete address, including the username and password, needs to be entered within the corresponding dialog of IP-Symcon.

RTSP streams can currently only be displayed in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, Android (incl. apps since version 5.1), Safari (since version 5.5), and iOS (incl. apps since version 5.5).

RTSP streams need to be h264 encoded. As IP-Symcon acts as distributor for RTSP streams, limits are applied depending on the used edition.

For Axis cameras: To use streams in the tile visualization, you must open “Plain Config” in “Advanced Options” and activate the setting Image.I0.MPEG.H264.PSEnabled. Then save with Save and reload the tile visualization to load the stream correctly.
