Can I use an RTSP stream from my camera in Cathexis?

Answer

Cathexis does have support for the use of a generic encoder or a native encoder to be added into the software based on the manufacturer structure of the URL.

Certain camera manufacturers will use a different URL structure which needs to be researched on the camera manufacturers support documentation.

Here are some examples below using the Cathexis Generic Encoder as a driver when adding a camera into the Cathexis Software:

Axis : rtsp://<IPADDRESS>/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=[WIDTH]x[HEIGHT]

HikVision : rtsp://<IPADDRESS>:554/Streaming/channels/1<stream number>

Dahua : rtsp://<IPADDRESS>/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

any additional besides live streaming will be done through the Cathexis confidential API apon request through our support.
