RTSP Streams

It is possible to establish streaming sessions with the Smart Sensor, the Advanced Smart Sensor, and the Advanced Image Streaming cameras of the FLIR A40/A50/A70 series.

The following URLs can be used:

  • rtsp://<IP>/avc/

  • rtsp://<IP>/mpeg4/

  • rtsp://<IP>/mjpg/

  • rtsp://<IP>/avc/ch1

  • rtsp://<IP>/mpeg4/ch1

  • rtsp://<IP>/mjpg/ch1

The section after IP address refers to the encoding:

  • /avc = H264 encoding

  • /mpeg4 = MPEG4 encoding

  • /mjpg = Motion JPEG encoding

The section after the encoding refers to the source, which can be either / or /ch1:

  • / will start a streaming session giving you the identical video as seen in the web interface. This can be IR, visual, MSX, or FSX, and the feed is 640 x 480 pixels.Add the &overlay=off argument in the URL to receive a feed without overlay.

  • /ch1 will start a streaming session giving you the uncropped visual image at 1280 x 960 pixels.

A radiometric 16-bit stream is also available for software supporting it.
