Receiving the Axis H.264 video data in multiple packets(fragments). Is there any way to get each image frame in single packet?

[VinothkumarEkambaram]

Hi,
We are using Axis H.264 video format from F34/F44/F9114 cameras. As analyzed in wireshark,

We are getting each video frame as fragments. The single video image is divided into multiple packets with packet size as 1442. Will the axis encoder always splits the H.264 video data in multiple fragments?
Whether Axis encoder provides any settings to changes this option to get the complete video frame in single packet?

thats normal becuase of MTU, lets imaging a frame has 200kbit that would never fit into one tcp package when using a MTU of 1500bytes. MTU could be configured.
but as you can see 1500 is max. so it would be always fragmented

MTU max can only be 1500, but if you want to get one frame at the same time, if you are using windows, you can use Axis media parser SDK, there is a callback CAxisMediaParserEvents::OnVideoSample, it will return the whole frame.
