Ip camera rtsp url

i found an interesting website.Click Here In this website, you can easily install the IP camera to the VLC player using the RTSP url. Different IP camera models have different settings. So, first check out the model. Next, go through the camera settings and edit the url.
For example,
D-link dcs5220 - camera model
the url is rtsp://ip_camera_add/play1.sdp

We left the streaming for around 1hrs+ to capture the graph but the Wireshark in the server PC crashed.
We also tried to capture 2 live feeds from 2 ip camera into 2 VLC player and stream over to the client PCs but we didn't use wireshark to capture the jitter. We will try it next day.

week 7.4





Yesterday, 271010, we completed the Wireshark test without any streaming stoppages nor errors, only thing that happened was that Wireshark on the Sever/Stream PC crashed on the 85min mark and we couldn't get the results. Else everything was pretty smooth, we managed to install the D-Link camera into the OAC(Our Allocated Computer) and manage to stream both together.
Will be testing on both cameras and streams using wireshark again, within the 120mins to see if there is another crash and to take note of the performance of the computers.

week SEVEN day TREE

Start of week Seven, realised that WireShark 1.4.1 has been released and to prevents crashes/bugs, we updated all the clients/server stream computers. I thought of reformatting the Controller computer as to baseline the computers with similar specifications, but thereafter confirmed with Mr. Lam and denied the idea. Tried our multi-stream with Wireshark again(now with Server/Stream PC), similar problems arises but after a few attempts mangaged to start our test. One of the problems faced was whether the PoE Cable had a supposed side for the Switch and same for the client, and the other was that after a period of time of streaming to multiple computers, there was a grey screen shown on all client computers.

Start of week Seven Second Day, we collected both the Client Given IP Camera (CGIC) and the D-Link Ip Camera from Ms Arthi, continued on our test on Multi-Stream Wireshark, didn't encounter the problems faced the day before(Grey Screen) and realised that the Server/Stream PC while Streaming, if Display Locally was checked, the probability of VLC Media Player Crashing was pretty high, thus decided to stick to not Display Locally. We tried the D-Link camera on our desk and it installed as supposed but when we tried on Our Allocated Computers (OAC), the Stream PC/Server couldn't capture the presence of the D-Link Camera. Thomas has found a locker in OAC lab which we could use and thus increasing the time for tests.
-End of 261010

Start of week Seven Third Day, we started on Multi-Computer Wireshark again with a 20min interval with 4 client PC and trying out on the D-Link IP Camera on our desktops. Hopefully the D-Link Ip Cam could be installed into the OAC and get needed results from the Multi-Comp Wireshark, and get started on J-Meter testings.
