RTSP URL password converter

Hello everyone,

Been a while since I configured the RTSP URL for all my cameras, but I remember coming across a thread that talked about not divulging the password by using a password converter to encrypt or get the hash of the actual password. Basically, if your actual password was "Tomato123", the converted password was "nPL4aDe". I apologize for using the wrong terminology.

Unfortunately, the converted password doesn't work with openRTSP, and I don't have a copy of the actual one. I know I could do a password reset, but that would involve me changing the info in all my devices, and I'd rather save that as a last resort.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I lost all my IPcamera tools in a harddrive crash, so I'm slowly rebuilding.

Thank you
 
Just curious here....
  1. Are you sharing your camera login info with others?
  2. Are you embedding a camera video stream on a web page to be shared?
  3. Are your cameras exposed to the Internet?

thanks for the reply

1. i setup the cameras on a few devices in my family, hence why i didn't want to go around changing them all.
2. no shared webpage, no
3. no, cameras are blocked from outside internet access, i access them remotely via logging in to my home network through a vpn.

FWIW, my Dahua and Amcrest cams (and most brands) let you set up several users, each with a different username, password and even different levels of control (view live only, operate PTZ, change audio and video parameters, etc.).

ok, well can you tell me what my "alternate" type of password is called? I would like to read up on it some more, I just can't remember what it's called, and searching for "password" yields way too many results.
