Accessing IP Streams from Antrica PTZ Cameras

The video stream from Antrica PTZ cameras can be accessed by VLC by opening:  rtsp://username:password@ip-address:554/video1

The cameras have four encoders in them which can each produce a different quality stream.  These can be accessed by changing “video1” to “video2”, “3” or “4”.

The cameras are not designed to be streaming servers and can only be stream to around three simultaneous connections.

It is possible to disable the user authentication within the camera so the credentials don’t need to be used in the stream address. In the cameras setup page, navigate to Setup -> Users and select Skip Authentication
