The question often arises on how to independently stream the image from cameras with two images particularly in the case when the image sensors may have completely different views such as with the S16 and S74 or flex mount cameras. In certain cases, this is possible with some limitations.

Mx7 cameras

This is possible with the S74 or M73 cameras with firmware 7.3.2.76

This is configured in Admin Menu \> Camera Administration \> Integration Protocols

The RTP integration must first be enabled. After setting and storing you can then set the Stream Source to Raw. The Raw stream source reduces image processing to a minimum in favor of higher frame rates. This means that the camera can generate up to 30 frames/s in UltraHD.

The resolution for each stream is set in the stream settings further down the page.

You will be able to select one stream up to 4K resolution from Stream 1 and 2. This stream must be set as the active stream as shown above. Stream 1 refers the Right image sensor and is designated as profile0. Stream 2 refers to the Left image sensor and is designated as profile1

The URL for this stream will be either of the following depending on which stream is active.

rtsp://:554/stream/profile0 or rtsp://:554/stream/profile1

The second stream will be selected from Stream 3 and 4. These streams are limited to Full HD when the camera is in Raw mode.

Stream 3 is the right image sensor and designated as profile2. Steam 4 is the left image sensor and designated as profile3. if you choose Stream 1 as the Right stream you will need to select Stream 4 as the Left stream.

Those URLs for the second stream are:

rtsp://Camera IP:554/stream/profile2 or rtsp://Camera IP:554/stream/profile3

ONVIF – It is also possible to separate the streams when you have activated the ONVIF integration protocol. The Stream Source must also be set to RAW and the camera restarted then the following URLs can be used for the independent ONVIF streams:

left rtsp://Camera IP:554/stream/onvif-default0  
right rtsp://Camera IP:554/stream/onvif-default3

Mx6 Cameras and earlier

With cameras such as the S16 the only possibility to get separate streams is using the event stream URL in preview mode which is limited to VGA resolution. This is also only possible with a Motion JPeg stream.

> When integrating Mobotix Cameras with 3rd party Video Management Systems, NVR, DVRs and other Data Appliances it is often necessary to know the correct URL to request the RTSP stream. When using ONVIF integration this will often not be needed as the cameras will automatically be discovered but this is not always the case. This article demonstrate the RTSP URLs for all the various series of Mobotix cameras. Mx7 Cameras. [image] Mx7 cameras with recent firmware are ONVIF S and T compatible.…
