Playing a Pull Stream Using VLC Media Player
Use the following procedure to play and view an SMP351 stream using the VLC media
player.
1. If you know the stream URL, go to step 5. Otherwise, to obtain the stream URL, access
the Web-based user interface of the SMP351 (see Accessing the Web-Based User
Interface on page48).
NOTE: If no password is set, anyone can view the stream URL. If a password is set,
you must be logged in to view the URL.
2. The Recording Controls page opens. In the Stream URL panel, if the archive and
confidence streams are set to Pull (see Push Stream and Pull Stream Playback
URLs on page195), the box displays the URL necessary to request a stream from the
SMP351. Note the full URL for later reference.
