If your modem doesn’t have a built in router, you’ll need to purchase one. Since most residential modems don’t have PoE ports, you’ll need to purchase a PoE injector or switch and connect it to your switch using one of the built in ports. When you sign up for internet service, your internet company will send an installer who sometimes brings a device that combines these devices into one. In a typical network, you have a modem and router with a switch function. To access the camera from your PC, they’ll need to be on the same network. Since most of Acti’s newer cameras are PoE enabled, and this guide is for the E42A, we’ll assume you are using PoE. If the camera supports it, you can also connect a traditional 12 or 24 volt power supply. While some systems will put the RTSP stream somewhere in the settings of the NVR or camera, others are hidden away behind documents, APIs, etc.3 Step 3: Access the cameras Step 1: Connect your camera to a PoE injector (midspan) or switch RTSP streams are often not completely obvious to end users. Some services allow you to send an RTSP stream to a How to find your RTSP stream This could include features such as more advanced analytics or cloud recording. B) Custom Applicationsĭevelopers will often call an RTSP stream to use in custom applications that boost or add features to a camera. RTSP does not transmit motion, VCA, or any other analytics to the recorder, so only basic 24/7 recording is available. This would allow your camera to work with your new NVR as a basic video feed. Many NVRs allow you to add a custom protocol to include the RTSP stream. Older, non ONVIF or poorly optimized ONVIF cameras may not always work with your new NVR. Some common uses for RTSP streams include A) Adding an older camera to an NVR RTSP streams can be played in network video players such as VLC. The RTSP stream can be useful in working in custom applications and situations or to isolate a video feed to add to a NVR for basic recording functionality. If you've ever been frustrated with a camera that locks you into their service, then you know why RTSP matters! What uses a RTSP Feed? Who would need it? Verkada uses modified Vivotek hardware, so if they do go bankrupt, refer to the Vivotek tab. They have promised to "unlock" the RTSP feed urls if they go bankrupt. Verkada does not support an RTSP stream as the video feed is directly sent to Cloud servers. This RTSP stream would mainstream channel 1 on an NVR at 192.168.1.210.Įxample URL: where admin is the username and 12345 is the password. 201 would produce the channel #2 of the NVR and mainstream and 202 would produce channel #2 and substream.Įxample: rtsp://192.168.1.210:554/Streaming/Channels/101 Changing the to 102 would create channel 1 and stream #2. streaming channel - for example “101” would be channel 1 and stream #1 (mainstream). : 0 (main stream) or 1 (sub stream) or 2 (third stream)Įxample URL: will bring up third stream for channel 2 on the NVR located at 192.168.1.210, where admin is the username and 12345 is the password. c1 would be channel 1, c2 channel 2, etc Older v1 Admiral line cameras may stream at rtsp://:/video You can also encode credentials into the URL by entering it prior to the IP address - for example.Įxample URL: will bring up substream for the camera. Stream URLs can be found via the web interface by going to Setup - Network - Port As far as video, the number specifies the stream type - video1 would be mainstream, video2 for substream, and video3 for third stream etc
