Hey, I need a little help. In the apartment building I'm living in, there was a new camera System installed. There are 16 digital, analog, whatever cameras connected via coax to the NVR and 2 IP Cameras. I want to get the RTSP stream for the cameras. To view the cameras using the Hikvision software and to have a backup of the recordings.

For the two IP Cameras, I can access the RTSP stream without any problems. But over the cameras, not using the NVR. When I use the NVR, I get no stream.
Using Integration Protocol I added another user with Admin rights and even enabled ONVIF. RTSP is set to port 554. I even lowered the security setting for RTSP from digest to digest/basic. Same....

This is the URL I try to open.

rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/Streaming/Channels/401/

This was the URL I found online. When I discover streams over ONVIF with BlueIris I get this URL Schema:

rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/Streaming/Unicast/channels/101/

But even with this, I was unable to connect to the NVR. I tried using VLC. I tried BlueIris and I also tried ffplay.

Does anyone have any ideas?
 
rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/Streaming/Channels/401/
  • Insure you have a channel 4 in the NVR and that cam's main stream is enabled
  • Don't capitalize "channels"
 
  • Insure you have a channel 4 in the NVR and that cam's main stream is enabled

How can I do that? This is the setting. The Camera on the Channel A9 is definitely working. As I can see, the stream is enabled.

Ok, so no capital C for channels. I tried

Code:
rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/Streaming/channels/901

Still no luck. Do I even have Channels like 1-16 or 18? Because the Channels are labeled with A1 to A16 and D1 to D2. But even with something like

Code:
rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/Streaming/channels/A901
or
Code:
rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/Streaming/channels/D101

Still no image.
 
No letters in the stream.
You are putting 2 of the "/" after "rstp:", correct? I know the forum software won't allow us to put 2 consecutively.

Ok, and yes, I'm using two slashes in the URI. And with Blue Iris I just select the rtsp protocoll. I also tried the Find function to discover all profiles. Also here I had no luck.

Yes, I have the RTSP Authentication setting.
I also tried to change the Camera Profile and Disable h265+, so the camera just runs on h265. Still no luck. No image, neither in VLC, ffplay or BlueIris.

What about adding "ISAPI" as in:
"rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/ISAPI/Streaming/Channels/401/" ?


I'm grabbing at straws since I don't have/use a Hikvision NVR. The first URL in your first post should work so I'm scratchin' my head: (rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/Streaming/Channels/401/ )

Maybe "Stream Encryption" is enabled on the NVR. You should disable it locally or via Hik-Connect app to view RTSP streams.

 
triple check the RTSP port has been set to 554, I found on my unit it had been changed to 1024 which meant the URL changed to:
- rtsp:/xxxx:xxxx@192.168.2.226:1024/Streaming/Channels/101/
 
I had been having trouble with this for months, however i have managed to do this now. Please see file as it may help people. Just make sure you know your RTSP password.rtsp.jpg

Thanks for your post!

The same make and model of NVR as the OP?

If it's different from the OP's please provide that info to better help someone as you stated. :cool:
 
I was having a similar issue, unable to view RTSP streams from my Hikvision NVR. I disabled the 'Stream Encryption' setting in platform access and that worked.

You should have two forward slashes after rtsp:/

For a VLC stream test you can try: rtsp:/user:myuser123@192.168.0.247:554/h264
