We need to get or construct the RTSP details of camera enrolled in XProtect Management Client. Please let me know which API i can use for the same.
Thanks

Can you see the information you seek in the Management Client? if yes, can you please show it in a screen capture?
Hi Rie, Strangely enough not.. I am not able to see it in Management Client. I am able to see the Camera IP under Recording Server → Hardware. Also, I am able to locate the username/password. Now I am confused how can I play the stream from the camera in Management Client or the Smart Client. Normally, I would have expected the rtsp url to be used to show the stream from the camera and stored somewhere in the management client, but this is not the case. I tried giving the rtsp url in place of “Address” to see if I can stream, but I cant (see screenshots attached). Sorry, my question wasn’t clear enough at first, but any help, on how I can play the stream ?
Next step will be to fetch the same details using API from the MIP SDP using protocol integration.
Let me explain a little about XProtect VMS streaming overview simply.
Cameras connect to Recording Server on VMS and clients (such as Smart Client) also connect to the Recording Server to fetch recording or live video to see. Milestone do not support RTSP-streaming, these connections are established by Milestone protocol.
Please see this similar question mentioning about RTSP in question 2 -

This document is about system architecture overall. It might be helpful for you to understand XProtect architecture.
Thanks @Rie Kiuchi (Milestone Systems) , that clearly answers my question. Also the architecture guide is very helpful.
