How to add a RTSP stream from a Wisenet camera to a NVR. Please note this only gives you the video stream and nothing else like PTZ control or analytics.
The RTSP stream format for a camera is as follows:
-
rtsp://<DeviceIP>/profile<no>/media.smp
-
rtsp://<DeviceIP>:port/profile<no>/media.smp
-
rtsp://user:password@<DeviceIP>:port/profile<no>/media.smp
The default port for RTSP Protocol is 554. It can be changed as necessary. Available ports are 1024-65535 & 554. Ports 3702, 49152 are not available.
An example of the first format would be:
rtsp://192.168.1.100/profile2/media.smp
The profiles relate to the profiles of the camera, profile 1 is the MJPEG stream, Profile 2 is the H.264 stream etc
Go to the camera Setup->Basic->User and Ensure RTSP without authentication is ticked:
On the NVR, go to Setup-> Device -> Camera Registration
Select Manual:
From here select RTSP and enter the RTSP string and camera credentials:
The camera will appear as a RTSP stream in the device list:
Click OK to save the changes and the camera stream will appear in the viewing pane.
