The doc shows a way to embed VMS video into website.
How to Embed Video from the VMS on a Website? – Network Optix

However, the authentication is required. Is any way to disable the authentication and I can embed the RTSP or webm stream to any HTML pages by using HTML5 video tag. such as

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="rtsp://…..">
</video>

  Hi Richard Huang,

  Thanks for your questions. We understand your request but unfortunately this is not supported.
  Nx will not support this kind of function, specifically no security/authentication for any API calls or retrieving streams.

  Thanks for your prompt reply.

   In the API document, it mentions I can enable the basic/digest authentication for RTSP. That means I can embed a set of username and password in an url. Is that correct?

  Hi Richard Huang,

  Yes, that is correct. 

  You may refer to this sample code. 
  https://github.com/networkoptix/nx_open_integrations/blob/master/python/examples/authentication/url_digest.py

  Please be kindly noticed, you need to enable the digest authentication of the certain account.
  If required, you can refer to this article.
