VLC RTP Video Streaming over HTTP

http://pdn.pelco.com/content/rtp-video-streaming-over-http

 

To display the stream using VLC, we need to configure VLC to use HTTP tunneling.

Launch VLC and set the parameters as follows:

Preference > Input / Codecs > Demuxers > RTP/RTSP

Click to select "Tunnel RTSP and RTP over HTTP". Also set theHTTP tunnel port to 86.

Next, in VLC select File > Open Network to open a stream using the URL returned by the camera. However, there are two important differences: specify RTSP instead of HTTP as the protocol, and do not include the port number in the URL string.

Next, the camera responds to the POST with RTSP and RTP setup information, and then starts streaming video.
