How to Connect Axis to SmartRTSP

Access Axis web interface

Open a browser and navigate to http://<camera-IP>. Log in with the account created during initial device setup. Account roles and authentication behavior vary by AXIS OS version, so check the exact device documentation.

Verify RTSP is enabled

In the web interface go to Settings → System → Network → Services. Confirm RTSP is enabled. Axis cameras have RTSP on by default — no extra configuration needed in most cases.

Use ONVIF scan (recommended)

Try SmartRTSP's ONVIF scanner first. Discovery and supported ONVIF profiles depend on the exact model, firmware and configured account permissions.

Manual URL entry

If ONVIF discovery doesn't work, add manually in SmartRTSP:

rtsp://camera_user:YourPassword@192.168.1.100:554/axis-media/media.amp
