Hello,

We are responding to a tender where there is a requirements for the cameras and VMS to support SRTP (Secure RTP) integration.

We are using VIVOTEK cameras where they already support SRTP.

After searching online I have confirmed that other VMS's have announcements saying they support SRTP integration with Axis and VIVOTEK for increased security.

Please confirm if NxWitness already uses SRTP when integrating VIVOTEK cameras through ONVIF, or if this is something still in the roadmap.

I am not sure if this question makes sense, but does SRTP have any value when adding an RTSP stream to NxWitness?

  Hi Miguel,

  Thanks for the waiting. We have confirmed with VVTK team, they told us that they have not yet completed implemented the SRTP for general communication with 3^rd parties, likely this is for their own VMS maybe. So we assume your customer might be saying the RTSP over HTTPS instead of SRTP while the user was mentioning this requirement?

  Nx Witness supports SRTP. At some point, while the camera is on the process of ONVIF initialization, the server asks the camera for URLs of video streams and the camera replies with URLs with rtsps:// schema it should work. However, this is not yet very popularly used and we have not yet got the report of either work or not-work from production sites.

  So, we will say SRTP is implemented on Nx Witness, but we are not sure if the camera can provide the rtsps:// URL for video stream during the ONVIF initialization. This would be a topic on camera firmware then.

  Thanks.

  Hi Paul chen,

  I don't really test the SRTP on several cameras at the moment, as the requests really rare and not very common so far. It could be my misunderstanding but if you could test from your site and let us know in case you face any issue?

  Thanks.
