Hello
XProtect contains a driver for adding RTSP stream as Camera into VMS. I would like to confirm is there any backward feature? So I have attached to XProtect different kind of cameras some of them are rtsp cameras, some of them not, but I need to get from Milestone direct video URI for each of that cameras.
The goal is to add XProtect cameras video feed into my application without using any MipSDK components, just by some normal RTSP or other Uri, which I would like to get from Milestone VMS.
Is such functionality exist ?
No, I’m afraid this is not possible, mostly for the sake of security. This would potentially give anybody direct access to any camera. Further, I do not see the sense in asking the VMS for the camera stream URL, as this sounds like circumventing the VMS system and features alltogether.
In stead I warmly recommend using the MIP SDK ImageViewer Control, which features:
- Show live feed
- Browse recordings
- Export recordings in AVI or JPEG formats
- Get alarm list
- Activate outputs
- Perform PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) control
- Fire notifications when various events occur

hi
have a look at milestone DirectShow filter . You can get video stream from any camera you have rights to with some additional parameters like resolution, frame rate , quality…
This is a very old thread, but I would like to update it to say this can now be done using ONVIF Bridge which is a free add-on. Through the ONVIF Bridge server you can access any camera video feed using an RTSP stream.
