Control Port 554 is the default port for RTSP streaming. It should be opened in the Network by firewall and set up in the Maxpro NVR PC in web.config file. Check with your Network Administrator regarding opening the port in the firewall. To confirm that the port is open, enter the camera’s RTSP stream URL in the VLC player and confirm the video stream. If the port is open, the VLC should be able to stream through RTSP.

Video streaming quality is based on the FPS (Frames Per Second) settings. But a high FPS can consume significant system and network resources. Since RTSP is a real-time video protocol, it is suggested that you configure it to use a low FPS rate, such as five (5) frames per second. This will reduce the demand on system and network resources required to do video streaming.

No timestamp displays for RTSP Streaming because it is live streaming and RTSP packets do not contain a timestamp.
