The URL for accessing the live stream can be found by querying the camera type. The platform supports several protocols for video streaming. Protocols vary depending on camera access:
...
An API query for a streaming URL generates an RTSP link that is valid for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds or disconnecting the player, it will not be possible to connect the player and the application must request a new RTSP link.
Web Player
To playback live video from the platform we recommend using our web player(link) available in GitLab repository. The player uses a combination of WebSocket Secure and RTSP and is suitable for playing videos anywhere on the interneton your website please contact our support.
Example - find available profiles:
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
query {
camera(node_id:140094){
stream_profiles{
stream_profile_id
width
height
}
}
} |
...
Response:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

{
"data": {
"camera": {
"stream_profiles": [
{
"stream_profile_id": 120846,
"width": 800,
"height": 450
},
{
"stream_profile_id": 120850,
"width": 1920,
"height": 1080
}
]
}
}
} |
In Postman example - Get live stream URL / getStreamProfileID
Example - get RTSP URL:
The next query gets the RTSP and URL for the currently generated RTSP stream:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
query {
camera(node_id:140094){
live_view(stream_profile_id:120850){
remote{
rtsp{
url
}
}
}
}
} |
...
Response:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

{
"data": {
"camera": {
"live_view": {
"remote": {
"rtsp": {
"url": "rtsp://nvhs10.survilla.net:2554/nvhs10~1600421245~9469bb1a2b831031456ef9c4abc182573d7a86a9f305f54df18621a9484d6134"
