AXIS P7701 - Video Sources
Transport method - Select which protocol to use for transport:
•Automatic
• RTSP unicast
• RTSP multicast
• RTSP tunnel
• HTTP
• HTTP RTSP tunnel
• HTTPS
Network settings
Address - Enter the IP address (or host name) of the video encoder or camera to add:
Example: 192.168.0.90
User Name and Password - If authentication is required by the video encoder or camera, enter the user name and password
to access it.
Notes:
• Selecting a user with viewing rights only on the encoder or camera is recommended.
• The video encoder’s or camera’s home pages can be opened in your browser by clicking the provided button.
Video & audio settings
Stream profile - Some video encoders and cameras support multiple stream profiles. If this is available, select the profile to
connect to. This value has no effect if the video encoder or camera only supports one stream profile.
Video type - Set the AXIS P7701 to automatically detect the video source format, or select the required format from the
drop-down list. Automatic attempts to detect formats in the following order:
• H.264 RTP multicast
• H.264 RTP unicast
• H.264 RTP over RTSP
• H.264 RTP over RTSP over HTTP
• H.264 RTP over RTSP over HTTPS
• MPEG-4 RTP multicast
• MPEG-4 RTP unicast
• MPEG-4 RTP over RTSP
• MPEG-4 RTP over RTSP over HTTP
• MPEG-4 RTP over RTSP over HTTPS
•Motion JPEG
• Motion JPEG over HTTPS
Selecting Automatic is recommended in most cases, but there are exceptions. For example, if Automatic is selected and the
video source supports MPEG-4 Multicast, then that format will automatically be selected. However, if the multicast data is
not correctly routed, the video stream from the encoder or camera will not reach the AXIS P7701. In this case, the format
should instead be set to MPEG-4 unicast.
As video sources are added to the AXIS P7701, they are stored in the decoder’s cache. This makes reconnecting to a source
much faster.
