Restreaming H.264/H.265 video from Wavestore server

To access restreamed H.264 or H.265 video from a Wavestore server, you can use a request string of this format:

     rtsp://server_ip:554/rtsp/0xxxx

Where xxxx is the channel number in hexadecimal.

You will also need to configure the username and password.  Check how you do that on your target system, for example on VLC, you can put this into the rtsp: URL:

     rtsp://username:password@server_ip:554/rtsp/0xxxx

Please note that restreaming H.265 video is only supported from software V6.18 onwards.

Some more details of the text in the request string:

To restream camera channel No: 2 from a Wavestore server IP 192.168.1.100, that has user ID configured named 'restream', with password 'a' configured for that user ID, the request string would be:

     rtsp://restream:a@192.168.1.100:554/rtsp/00002

Please note the channel number on the Wavestore server (which is a decimal value) needs to be converted to hexadecimal format, before you enter into the request string; here are some other examples:

For camera channel 9, the hexadecimal equivalent is 9, so the request string would be:

     rtsp://restream:a@192.168.1.100:554/rtsp/00009

For camera channel 10, the hexadecimal equivalent is A, so the request string would be:

     rtsp://restream:a@192.168.1.100:554/rtsp/0000A

For camera channel 15, the hexadecimal equivalent is F, so the request string would be:

     rtsp://restream:a@192.168.1.100:554/rtsp/0000A

For camera channel 16, the hexadecimal equivalent is 10, so the request string would be:

     rtsp://restream:a@192.168.1.100:554/rtsp/00010

For camera channel 99, the hexadecimal equivalent is 63, so the request string would be:

     rtsp://restream:a@192.168.1.100:554/rtsp/00063

For camera channel 254, the hexadecimal equivalent is FE, so the request string would be:

     rtsp://restream:a@192.168.1.100:554/rtsp/000FE

To access the same restreams remotely across the internet (e.g. using VLC Media Player or other software), you'll first need to create a port forwarding rule on the router to forward traffic using TCP Port 554 to the Private IP address of the server.

You can then access the restreamed video using a similar request string to the above, but remember to use the Public IP address of the router.

For example, if the Public IP Address of the router is 77.75.101.150, you can access the restream for camera 9 using this request string:

     rtsp://restream:a@77.75.101.150:554/rtsp/00009
