place texts on your video.
Video Streaming
The NVS-31 provides the user with different video streaming options such as RTSP, TS, RTMP(S), HLS, and
SRT.
This section discusses settings of these options and how to stream your video using these methods.
RTSP/TS/HLS/SRT
In the RTSP/TS/HLS/SRT modes, the NVS-31 is a stream server which allows any client device to connect
and playback your video stream. However, if you would like to stream to multiple client devices, we
recommend using a separate media server to set up your streaming environment.
The following operation procedure uses VLC media player to playback video stream. If your PC or
laptop does not have VLC media player installed, please visit VideoLAN's official homepage
(https://www.videolan.org/) and download the installation file then install the program.
Follow the steps below to obtain the RTSP URL:
1. Open the stream settings page
2. Select RTSP
3. Click the Start button to generate the RTSP URL.
4. Based on your settings, the device will automatically generate the RTSP URL.
5. Before streaming the video via RTSP, enter the RTSP URL into the client device.
6. Open VLC then click Open Network Stream (shown in the diagram below).
