I have set up the ONVIF bridge and managed to stream the LIVE and VOD RTSP streams in VLC Media player.
We are building a third party application where we would like to display a video wall. With multiple streams we need lower resolutions. Is it possible to get a second RTSP stream with a lower resoltion? And if so how?
Hi Ruskin,
It is not possible to do this via the Onvif Bridge.

Hi Tsvetomira,
Is there any other way to get a video stream with a lower resolution preferably in the h.264 format, to lower bandwidth requirements?
Hi Ruskin,
What license and version of XProtect are you using? With the Corporate and Expert version, we have Adaptive Streaming feature. Using it you may set your default stream to be the one with lowest resolution. This way the Onvif Bridge will use it and the Smart Client will request the most appropriate one according to it’s own resolution.
You may also get H264 or H265 data with different resolution (not changing the default stream) through the MIP SDK.
Hi Tsvetomira,
We are using the Express version. With the adaptive streaming would the Onvif stream always be the lowest resolution? We need both the high resolution stream and the low resolution stream depending on how many camera streams are open at the same time, so as not to overload our internet connection.
Can we use the Onvif Bridge for this or do we need to use the MIP SDK, and do we need to upgrade to the Corporate version?
The Onvif will use the lowest resolution stream, if it is the default one. But then the Onvif will use only the lowest resolution stream. If you need to get both, then you need to do integration with MIP SDK and upgrade your license.
Thank you that answers my question
