Transport / Protocol

TCP/IP cameras are supported, but UDP is not. While IPv4 is the default and thoroughly tested, IPv6 may also function. Only the RTSP protocol is supported at this time. If MPEG-TS or SRT are required, other plugins support these features.

Authentication

The following authentication mechanisms are supported:

• None
• Basic
• Digest – Both RFC2069 and RFC2617 (with exceptions). Algorithm supports include MD5 and SHA-256.

Exceptions to Digest support: the opaque, stale, and qop fields are ignored.

Codecs

The following codecs are supported:

Video

• h.264

Audio

• AAC / MPEG-4
• PCM ulaw
• PCM alaw

Note If an application track is supplied in the SDP, it is ignored.
