Has latest ONVIF bridge supported H.265 stream yet?
According to milestone document in 2019, ONVIF bridge only supports H.264 stream.
Hi Shawn,
Officially Milestone ONVIF Bridge doesn’t support H.265 streaming.
However RTSP server has partial H.265 support as a beta.
As it is not official, you could try it on your risk and without any guarantee it will work.
In order to enable it you have to set following registry and to restart ONVIF Bridge server.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Milestone\Open Network Bridge]
"H265"=dword:00000001
Please bear in mind that this will instruct RTSP server to treat all the streams as H.265 ones, even if they are not.
And the ONVIF interface still will report them as H.264 ones.
In addition, if you have mixture of cameras in your installation (H.264 & H.265) you will end up with two different instances of the ONVIF Bridge - one with the registry and one without. And you should have two different user accounts - one with rights for using H.264 cameras and the seconds one - for the H.265. Those two users have to be configured and used in the corresponding ONVIF Bridges.
Not the easiest thing to set-up and use, but as I said - it is still a beta.
Get it. Thanks
