Does anyone have TandemVu working in BI?

[cmx]

I manged to buy a TandemVu camera and can only get one stream to work in BI. I could only find one post about it on the forum and could not get both streams to work only one.

Would anyone know how to find it? Channel 1 is the PTZ and 2 is the Panoramic. BI only find channel 1.

Do you have 2 cams with the same IP but with a different channel number?
What are the URL's you're using in BI?
I would think they'd be identical except for the channel number but I don't have that cam so.....

Yes 2 cams with one IP, where do you change the channel number in BI?

I changed the below and it makes no difference.

First, let's try some RTSP URL's in VLC to see if they're right:

RTSP with Authentication:
rtsp:/<username>:<password>@<IP address of device>:<RTSP port>/Streaming/channels/<channel number><stream number>

Example:

rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:554/Streaming/channels/101 – get the main stream of the 1st channel
rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:554/Streaming/channels/201 – get the main stream of the 2nd channel

NOTE: insure to place 2 "/" after "RTSP:", as forum software won't allow 2 to be displayed consecutively.

This works in VLC,

rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:554/Streaming/channels/101 – get the main stream of the 1st channel

The 2 channel did not.

In your first post, when you go to the "Panoramic" tab, is nothing greyed out or needs enabling of either stream?

Again in VLC, what about trying "202" at the end of the URL, the sub stream of the 2nd channel?

That worked! it's 202.

Now how do i get that to work in BI?

Thanks!

Place "Streaming/channels/202" (no quotes) after the "/" that's there now for the main stream URL.

That does work but it looks like a substream as BI says it's only 0.6MP.

Then try "201"

That worked, strange because of VLC it didn't maybe a codec.

Thanks for your help Tony now anyone else with a TandemVu knows.

Yeah, 201 is what I put for the second URL in post #4 because I wanted to see if the sub would work in place of the main, which it did. BI doesn't know which is which, it just does what it told (most of the time).

Glad it's working for ya!
