Hi all,

I have a DS-2CD2043G0-1 and I need to configure it for unauthenticated RTSP. I want to monitor the video feed from a marine multi-function display (MFD) on a boat. The display has the following requirements in order to detect the camera:

  • The camera must support H.264 compression and RTSP (Real time Streaming Protocol).
  • The camera must be ONVIF compliant
  • The camera must be capable of and be setup to allow unauthenticated anonymous access
  • The camera must be capable of and be setup to assign an IP address automatically via DHCP
I am able to enable ONVIF, configure the NIC to use DHCP, enable RTSP etc. But I see no option to allow anonymous unauthenticated RTSP.

I saw in manuals online that there used to be an option to enable "Anonymous Visit" but I cannot find this anywhere on the latest firmware. And if my understanding is correct, they have blocked downgrading firmware between major versions.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Laz
