Updating Your RTSP URL

Updating A Stream's RTSP URL - HDOnTap Streaming Service

Overview

The Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) URL is used to connect your IP camera to the HDOnTap Streaming Network and is unique to your camera based on its IP address, RTSP port, username and password. While we will set up your IP camera initially, this RTSP URL may need to be updated if the IP address, RTSP port, username or password changes.

Prerequisites

• You must be an Admin.
• You must have your Portal login. Contact your Customer Administrator or HDOnTap Support if you need assistance with your Portal credentials.
• Customer Control must be enabled for your stream. Contact HDOnTap Support if you are unable to edit your stream.
