Is there a way to throttle the framerate of an rtsp stream when streaming from the server -- for example:

rtsp://<server_ip>:<port>/12AB42FD5912?pos=1235631&resolution=240p&fps=10

The docs seems incomplete or outdated. For example no mention of H264 eventhough this works:

rtsp://<server_ip>:<port>/12AB42FD5912?pos=1235631&resolution=240p&codec=H264

System version
4.2.0.32840

Thanks

Hi @...,

First, regarding the H.264 codec option. You're right, it is missing in the documentation.
I created a task for our developers to add the information in one of the upcoming releases (5.0 or 5.0_patch).

Regarding the framerate. Currently, there is no method to change the framerate of the RTSP streams within Nx Witness.

You might consider using FFmpeg to achieve this. I haven't tested it, but with FFmpeg, you can stream URLs and set the desired frame rates. At the superuser forum, there is a section for FFmpeg, and I'm sure there are experts there who could provide you some direction.
