Generic DVR/Mobile Access

[shermaniiv]

Hello All,

I have a generic DVR that I can view from a mobile app VMeye. I can't find the config to bring it in to BI. Is there a way that BI can read why these iPhone apps read?

Thanks!

not unless the DVR could also be viewed locally and supports rtsp/mjpeg or onvif.

It has RTSP port open which i'm assuming is how the app can communicate. It is unencrypted traffic so I may try using wireshark to see what requests it makes. The DVR is old and has security vulnerabilities so I don't want it open to the outside anymore. I'd rather use BI to pull the streams along with some IP cams I have and use the BI app to view them. I know there are paths and a database of ones to try, just wasn't sure if anyone knew the underlying requests those apps use.

You are probably best replacing the crap analog cameras.
