Getting latency data from a camera.

[IolveiraDF]

Hello everyone, we are working on a project that requires a camera view, my team made an API to get the camera view using RTSP.

We want to know if its possible to ask the camera for the latency, we thought this may be possible since using the IP of the camera and login on the web interface, we see the latency that has an average of 250 ms.

We see this data in the web interface but we want to achieve this from a program.

Would this be possible in some way?

Does someone do this before?

Additionally I found out there is an API from axis called ¨Video capture API (VDO)¨that can capture image, and there is also a timestamp ¨VDO_TIMESTAMP_MONO_CLIENT_SERVER_DIFF ¨ that do ¨Value can be read from custom_timestamp which shows the diff between client and server timestamp.¨.

I understand this last one is the definition of latency?.

Anyways, if someone could help us would be great.

Thanks!

Hi @IolveiraDF ,
I hope this will be helpful for your team: 655

The Video capture API (VDO) is for AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) applications which can run inside the camera.

Hi @vivekatoffice,

Thank you!, If I understand this code doesn't necessarily need the Video capture API (VDO) to run, as long i have the rtsp url.

We are going to try this and will let you know.

Thank you
