#1Axis RTSP Media Path Syntax
Axis network cameras expose high-definition H.264/H.265 streams via the standard axis-media/media.amp endpoint. You can configure and test your Axis endpoint parameters using the IP Camera RTSP URL Builder:
rtsp://root:[email protected]:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=1920x1080#2Advanced Axis Query Parameters
Customize your stream parameters on the fly:
- videocodec=h264 or videocodec=h265
- resolution=3840x2160 (4K) or resolution=640x360 (Preview)
- fps=30 (Frame rate cap)
- compression=30 (Compression ratio 0-100)
