Signed Video

Signing a video can be done in two different ways:

Default

This method enables/disables video signing for a video channel with the regular Signed Video API parameter group Image.I#.MPEG.SignedVideo and the parameter Enabled.

Per stream

Signing can also be enabled/disabled directly in a stream with the Signed Video URL option, i.e. using the boolean videosigned that can have the values 1 or 0 and may look like this:

gst-launch-1.0 -v rtspsrc location="rtsp://<user:password>@<ip addr>/axis-media/media.amp?videosigned=1" ! fakesink silent=false

API Discovery

id=signed-video

Use these examples to sign a video and ensure its origin and authenticity. The video can then be validated to prove that it has not been manipulated with after being transferred from the camera.

Setup signed video on a channel

To enable video signing by default on a channel you should use the Enabled parameter like this:

http://<servername>/axis-cgi/param.cgi?action=update&Image.I0.MPEG.SignedVideo.Enabled=yes

Setup signed video for a stream

To enable video signing for a stream you should use the videosigned URL-option like this:

gst-launch-1.0 -v rtspsrc location="rtsp://<user:password>@<ip addr>/axis-media/media.amp?videosigned=1" ! fakesink silent=false

The Enabled parameter is used when you wish to enable/disable video signing with the parameter handling API.
