IP

Connect RTSP or ONVIF IP cameras to AugeLab Studio.

Use IP cameras when you need longer cable runs, network distribution, or multiple camera setups. AugeLab Studio supports both RTSP (fast, direct stream) and ONVIF (device discovery + profiles; typically lower FPS).

If you can open the stream in VLC (RTSP) or in the vendor tool (ONVIF), you are very close—most remaining issues are credentials, URL format, or subnet/firewall settings.

RTSP (recommended for higher FPS)

Best when you need a higher frame rate and you know the RTSP URL (typical for up to a few cameras per PC, depending on resolution and codec).

Setup

1. Connect the camera to your switch/router (Ethernet) and power it on (PoE or adapter).

2. Set/confirm the camera IP address (check the vendor tool or camera web UI).

3. Determine the RTSP URL (camera manual/vendor UI). Common formats look like:

   • rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ip>:554/stream1

   • rtsp://<ip>:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream

4. In AugeLab Studio, add the Camera IP block and paste the RTSP URL.

   • Block reference: Camera IP

ONVIF (recommended for discovery and larger setups)

Use ONVIF if the camera supports it and you prefer device discovery / profiles. ONVIF streams may not reach the same FPS as direct RTSP (depends on camera and network).

Setup

1. Connect and power the camera (Ethernet + PoE/adapter).

2. Enable ONVIF in the camera settings (vendor UI) and set an ONVIF user if required.

3. In AugeLab Studio, add the Camera IP (ONVIF) block and enter:

   • Camera IP

   • Username/password

4. Start acquisition.

Troubleshooting (RTSP/ONVIF)

• No connection: verify PC and camera are on the same subnet; avoid VPN adapters; check Windows firewall.

• RTSP connects but no image: try a different stream path (main/sub stream) or switch codec (H.264/H.265) in the camera UI.

• Stutter: lower resolution/FPS/bitrate on the camera; prefer wired Ethernet; avoid Wi‑Fi.
