RTSP

Axis devices deliver scene metadata via a RTSP stream using the ONVIF Scene Description XML based data structure. This RTSP endpoint is most often used by Video Management Systems (VMS) to obtain data just like a video stream.

Accessing ONVIF scene description scene metadata data via RTSP

To connect to to a RTSP stream that includes scene metadata from enabled analytics metadata producers the following RTSP URL can be used,

rtsp://<device-ip>/axis-media/media.amp?camera=1&audio=0&video=0&analytics=polygon

For more information, see Video Streaming over RTSP API.

To configure enabled analytics metadata producers the Analytics Metadata Producer Configuration API is used.

For a detailed guide on how to configure and start a RTSP stream with scene metadata, see this how-to.
