You got mail, charlie 
The camera is ready for testing .
Hi,
all SONY snc-ch/dh/rh network cameras work well with Wowza. You have to set H.264 video codec for the first camera stream before.
rtsp://[login:password@][camera domain name or IP address]/media/video1
Tested with
snc-ch110, dh110, ch210, dh210, ch120,dh120, ch140, dh140, ch160, dh160, ch180, dh180, ch220, dh220, ch240, dh240, ch260, dh260, ch280, dh280, rh124, rh164
I know this is an old thread, as are the camera’s they’re about, but they are still out there and I’m trying to get one to work with Wowza.
I have installed Wowza 4.0.1 on a server and I’m trying to get a camera to stream. This is a Sony SNC-RZ25P. It doesn’t support RTSP. The URL to get it going is:
http:///mpeg4?UdpMode=unicast&UdpPort=50000
This will start the camera sending RTP packets to the server. I have tried several different variations on an SDP, my latest version is this:
v=0
o=- 571622436 4192730712 IN IP4 <ip-address>
s=WowzaPro
i=WowzaPro
b=AS:1048
t=0 0
c=IN IP4 <ip-address>/64
m=video 50000 RTP/AVP 96
b=AS:1000
a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000
a=control:trackID=111
a=fmtp:96 packetization-mode=1
a=framesize:96 640x480
a=framerate:96 25
I associated the sdp file with the live application and have it in the startup streams. I see in the logs that when I start this stream up in Wowza, the packetizers for SanJose, Cupertino and MPEG-DASH get to work. One of the interesting things is a message about the H264 format. It has different values each time, but they are certainly off:
LiveStreamPacketizerCupertino.handlePacket[live/definst/mystream.sdp][avc1.208.245]: H.264 (Video may not be playable on older iPhone and iPod touch devices where Main/Level 3.1 or lower is required) Video info: {H264CodecConfigInfo: codec:H264, profile:208, level:24.5, frameSize:16x32, displaySize:16x32, mbAFF:true}
It looks like the packetizer interprets some random data as a format descriptor. Setting the framesize and framerate in the SDP didn’t help.
The logs also show another problem. At the beginning, scattered around there’s a few of these warnings:
RTPDePacketizerRFC3984H264.handleRTPPacket[live/definst/mystream.sdp]: Unsupported packet type: MTAP-16
RTPDePacketizerRFC3984H264.handleRTPPacket[live/definst/abe1.sdp]: Unsupported packet type: MTAP-24
RTPDePacketizerRFC3984H264.handleRTPPacket[live/definst/abe1.sdp]: Unsupported packet type: STAP-B
RTPDePacketizerRFC3984H264.handleRTPPacket[live/definst/abe1.sdp]: Unsupported packet type: FU-B
But after that, it seems to go allright:
LiveStreamPacketizerCupertino.handlePacket[live/definst/mystream.sdp]: Video codec:H264 isCompatible:true
And then I get a lot of messages about adding fragments.
Can you confirm that these older camera’s with their odd RTP flavour will not -never- work with Wowza? Or does anyone know of a workaround, fix, patch?

Hello
we got sony rx550p network camera to integrate. It supports h264 streaming.
Has anyone any success or recommendation wrt integration of this camera with wowza??
Hi Charlie,
we have 2 Cams, with the same issue - any update on your side of the lake ?
I have installed Wowza 4.0.1 on a server and I’m trying to get a camera to stream. This is a Sony SNC-RZ50P
I’m trying to set up live streaming to be able to stream to IPAD devices.
I’m following the following to get the image from my IP camera https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-a-native-rtp-encoder-with-sdp-file
But I have no success by now, on the last step (Publishing the stream), the myStream.sdp is automatically discovered by the Engine Manager, but after click the Connect icon for the myStream.sdp file, and select Application Name: live and MediaCaster Type and click on OK, I’m getting the error:” Could not find or open Stream File myStream.sdp for application live ”
My SDP file is the following:
v=0
o=- 571622436 4192730712 IN IP4 160.61.193.17
s=Generic
i=Generic
b=AS:1048
t=0 0
c=IN IP4 160.61.193.17/64
m=video 50000 RTP/AVP 96
b=AS:1000
a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000
a=control:trackID=1
a=fmtp:96 packetization-mode=1
a=framesize:96 640x480
a=framerate:96 25
I’m completely lost, I need some help.
Maybe I’m not choosing the best way to stream for my purpose, please let me know.
