Hi Hong Thai,

You can use the free Open Network Bridge from Milestone or the licensed Streaming Engine by ORBNET for this.

ORBNET support Audio, RTMP and have an API to control PTZ.

The ORBNET solution can be customized if required.

I am not very familiar with the ONB, but I know the Streaming Engine does support multiple streams in parrallel for each camera.

Please see below Administrator Manual page 8, it says “If a camera supports multiple streams, only the default stream is sent. “, so this is by design.

Actually this concerns how configuration information is returned on the ONVIF interface.

In the RTSP service you can refer to the different streams by adding “/<stream_index>” at the end of the RTSP address.

For example:

rtsp://<server_address>:554/live/<camera_identifier>/1

to gen the second stream.
