Managing camera streams in AWS Panorama

To register video streams as data sources for your application, use the AWS Panorama console. An application can process multiple streams simultaneously and multiple appliances can connect to the same stream.

Important

An application can connect to any camera stream that is routable from the local network it connects to. To secure your video streams, configure your network to allow only RTSP traffic locally. For more information, see Security in AWS Panorama.

To register a camera stream

1. Open the AWS Panorama console Data sources page.

2. Choose Add data source.

   

3. Configure the following settings.

   • Name – A name for the camera stream.

   • Description – A short description of the camera, its location, or other details.

   • RTSP URL – A URL that specifies the camera's IP address and the path to the stream. For example, rtsp://192.168.0.77/live/mpeg4/

   • Credentials – If the camera stream is password protected, specify the username and password.

4. Choose Save.
