Orchid Fusion VMS Firewall/Ports Configuration

This topic describes all of the network ports used by Orchid Fusion VMS and which configuration properties allow you to change each port.

Required External Ports

This port is required to access Orchid Fusion VMS in any configuration.

• Web server TCP port
  • Default: 8080
  • Configuration property: listening.port (number between 1 and 65535.)

Optional External Ports

Orchid Fusion VMS’s RTSP server ports may be configured with the optional parameters below. The RTSP server is not used by the Orchid Core VMS or Orchid Fusion VMS user interfaces, but may be used by certain third-party integrations or other applications.

• RTSP TCP port
  • Default: 9554
  • Configuration property: rtsp.listening.port (number between 1 and 65535)

• RTP UDP port range
  • Defaults: 0 (any port)
  • Configuration properties:
    • rtsp.port.range.min (number between 1 and 65535)
    • rtsp.port.range.max (number between 1 and 65535)

RTSP Configuration Properties

The following two settings are related to Orchid Fusion VMS’s Proxy mode (which provides a workaround when the Orchid Core VMS server is not directly accessible to your web browser).

• rtsp.listening.protocol
  Options are as follows:
  • rtsp
    Default – Orchid Fusion VMS UI will access the streams via UDP.
  • rtspt
    Orchid Fusion VMS UI will access the streams via TCP-interleaved.
  • rtsps
    Orchid Fusion VMS UI will access the streams via UDP SRTP. (Secure — ssl.pem and ssl.key must be set)
  • rtspst
    Orchid Fusion VMS UI will access the streams via TCP-interleaved TLS. (Secure tcp — ssl.pem and ssl.key must be set)

• rtsp.proxy.transport.protocol
  This is the RTSP transport protocol between Orchid Fusion VMS and Orchid Core VMS. Options are:
  • udp
    Default
  • tcp
  • http
    (http only works with target Orchid Core VMS servers running rtsp)
