DLNA Support for remote monitors
AnsweredWould be cool to see something like Milestone are doing with their DLNA output.
Basically you can create a DLNA output that is a camera feed or view, this can be connected to by a smart screen or TV.
Massively reduce the cost of running remote monitors in shops no need for client machine or config, easy for client to reconnect after power outages and easy to re configure to suit clients needs.

Hi All,
Unfortunately, DLNA support is not being worked on at the moment.
In the meantime, I haven't tried it, but there is nice free and open source cross-platform application that might do the job for you.
It is called the Universal Media Server.
Please feel free to send us any other comments or questions and have a great rest of your day!

Hi Tim Huskisson,
Sure thing.
- Access the Nx WebAdmin
- Right-click on a server and select Server Web Page...
or
- Navigate to http://localhost:7001/ in your browser. - In the Nx WebAdmin navigate to the tab For Developers
or navigate to http://localhost:7001/static/index.html#/developers - Select API Testing Tool (new)
or navigate to http://localhost:7001/static/index.html#/developers/api - Head to Video API section by scrolling toward the end of the API.
Here you will find the following subsections:
- RTSP streaming
- Direct Download
- HLS streaming
- HTTP streaming
In general RTSP streaming is the most common option, so I'll provide you an example of such URL:
rtsp://<server-ip>:<server-port>/<cameraId>
For example:
rtsp://192.168.178.55:7001/959bc020-ff9d-63b3-43da-c099d53a4117
If you like, you can include the credentials as well in the URL.
rtsp://<user>:<password>@<server-ip>:<server-port>/<cameraId>
There a various other parameters to be included, but you can find these in the server API and apply them if required.
