One way of getting the video from Vivotek PT7137 to a webpage is by using the VLC plugin and connect the rtsp stream.
However, in current version of Chrome the VLC plugin is no longer supported. Instead it is suggested to use HTML5 to embed video, but rtsp is not supported in Chrome so it is kind of a dead end there for the moment. This solution works in for example Firefox.
In the webpage where you would like to add the stream:
<object classid=”clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921″ codebase=”http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win32/axvlc.cab” id=”vlc”>
</object>
<embed type=”application/x-vlc-plugin” pluginspage=”http://www.videolan.org” autoplay=”yes” loop=”no” width=”600″ height=”340″ target=”rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IPADDRESS:554/live.sdp” />
Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD and IPADRESS with real values for your Vivotek PT7137 camera. It might be a good idea to create an account in the Vivotek PT7137 to use from the web as the username and password will be visible for anyone who inspects the webpage source code. That said, putting the root user account and password here would be considered stupid 🙂
Tip for Joomla users: If you include this code in a Joomla site, include {emailcloak=off} before the above, because the @-sign will trig Joomla email cloaking beliving it is an email address.
