How do I figure out what the connection URLs are for the Dahua cameras? I got the rtsp stream url but I'd like an http stream url so I can use a camera with some of the el cheapo apps and view one of the devices internally on a phone/xbox. Is there a way to do this? Cause I can't see anywhere where it will tell you this...

P.S. I have a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE.

I think what your looking for is the camera's ip address, which will bring up the login page for live viewing. Whatever app your using for viewing should have an add device screen where you'll add the camera's ip address, and the rest of the info can be found on the network settings tab. You can use the ip configuration tool to get this same information.

Both of these work OK in VLC.

For HTTP try:

Code:
http://username:password@camera-IP/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi
For RTSP try:
Code:
rtsp://username:password@camera-IP/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1
or
Code:
rtsp://username:password@camera-IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

Hrm...the rtsp links work but the http links don't. I was able to get the rtsp link fine with ONVIF Device manager but I can't find any place in the camera that it tells you what the HTTP path should be....

I don't think the UWP app (or a lot of the other chincy apps in the windows store) support rtsp, only http.

FYI, this works in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on an Amcrest IP2M-842W (rebranded Dahua):

Code:
http://username:password@camera-IP/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

The http url worked but changed my encoding to mjpeg on the camera. After changing it back to h264 with the browser the camera would change back to mjpeg until I cleared the cache. Camera is a DH-SD22204T-GN
