streams. When you know the URL for the RTSP stream
of your camera, follow the steps in the Adding Cameras
Manually section, selecting RTSP protocol.

confi gured using a third party program
before being added to Apex Server. Cameras
that don’t support ONVIF can be confi gured

URL streams for your cameras. For
instructions regarding these streams, consult
the camera manual.
