How to retrieve a stream from a milestone for analytics?

We have a comprehensive system for recognizing license plates, faces and other objects. Is it possible to somehow retreive streams from a milestone in video format, and not frame by frame? We know that ONVIF can be used, but in order to generate a rtsp link, you need a login and password. Is there any way to get around this or is there some other way to take a video stream?

Using the MIP SDK you can ask for the video in native format. You would typically use RawLiveSource for this.

There is no sample showing this in the MIP SDK, but the usage is much like JpegLiveSource except for the understanding of the delivered data.

To receive a RTSP stream you need to use Milestone Open Network Bridge server (aka ONVIF Bridge server).
