Supported Cameras

The TetherX Timeline supports any camera that is either ONVIF compliant or has an RTSP or HTTP stream. This means upward of 99.9% of cameras on the market.

Many cameras are detected automatically, others can be added by finding the primary and secondary RTSP path in the manual. If this is not available, you may need to ask the manufacturer.

Automatically Detected Cameras

Any ONVIF camera or camera with an RTSP stream on port 554 or 7070 will be automatically detected and added to your Cameras page. You can always find your cameras in the Admin section.

Adding Cameras Manually

Cameras that were not auto-detected (e.g., HTTP streams or cameras on a different network) can be added manually by clicking Add Camera on your Cameras page.

Test your RTSP URLs in a video player like VLC first to confirm the camera works before adding it to TetherX.
