Is it possible to request a H.265 RTP stream from the milestone VMS server directly using the SDK protocol interface, sending a SOAP request over TCP but requesting an RTP/UDP stream?

Unfortunately no, MIP SDK doen’t support streaming. Milestone ONVIF Bridge (in particular RTSP service) supports streaming but only supports H.264 encoded video streams.

Thanks for the response. That was my assumption. In terms of the stream that comes back from the Milestone server over TCP when a SOAP request is sent, is that in a particular encoding or native to Milestone? I.e could anything else display this or would it need to be transcoded? (apologies if this doesn’t make sense, fairly new to video encodings)

Hi.

The stream that comes back from the Milestone Image Server protocol is native to Milestone. More precisely the header is Milestone native and content is not modified.

Please see this link which describes the Generic Byte Data format;

https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=mipgenericbytedata/main.html&tree=tree_search.html?search=genericbyte

You will see information on GenericByteData which consist of header and raw byte data(content). Note that you will get the raw data from the camera device and whether this is H265 or something different will then be dependent on the camera capabilities and setup.

Thanks for clarifying.
