How to add a camera as RTSP
Adding a camera as RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) directly pulls a stream from the camera, allowing for non-ONVIF cameras to be added to the recorder. RTSP also allows for better control of multi-lens cameras by allowing the selection of a specific channel and profile.
