RTSP

Axis devices deliver scene metadata in an RTSP stream using the ONVIF Scene Description XML-based format. Video management systems (VMSs) commonly use this stream to obtain data, much like a video stream.

Access ONVIF scene description metadata over RTSP

To connect to an RTSP stream that includes scene metadata from enabled analytics metadata producers, use the following URL:

rtsp://<servername>/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 is used.

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