If you have an installation with multiple milestone servers will the Onvif Bridge allow access to all the cameras through RTSP regardless of what server they are connected to?
Hi Tim,
When you are talking about “multiple milestone servers” I will assume you have in mind some federated architecture (MFA) with multiple levels of “Master-Slave” nodes.
Let’s assume you have Master node A with sub-nodes B and C. Every sub-node has it’s own RS, for example B1 and C1.
Milestone ONVIF Bridge has two separate services:
- ONVIF one, which provides configuration information.
- RTSP one - providing video streaming.
So you can have ONVIF Bridge server pointed to the Master, where ONVIF service will refer it’s own RTSP service. In order for both to be able provide info and streams form the slaves (B/B1 and C/C1), option “Include sub-sides” should be checked, from “Surveillance server credentials” dialog of the ONVIF’s tray manager.
If you have ONVIF Bridges installed on B and C and you want ONVIF from Master to provide video stream links to the RTSP servers on B and C, I’m afraid this is not possible.
