Stream preview without login

[TreborXof]

Hello all,


I have recently purchased the sd49425xb-hnr to replace an Axis P5415-E..
However during the purchase I overlooked a significant feature that the Dahua does not include which is the ability to view the web stream without logging in.



Is there any thoughts on a way around this or any other cameras besides Axis that offer the stream without logon?

Thanks in advance.



For the Axis I doctored some javascript to directly stream on our website with no worry of compromise as the camera is in a DMZ and is not authenticating with any creds.

My Amcrest (Dahua OEM) and Dahua cams allow you to enable user "Anonymous" which requires no password.

You could then stream RTSP as here:

rtsp:/camera-IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

Of course, you can also stream RTSP directly to VLC by embedding the credentials in the URL as in:

rtsp:/user:password@camera-IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

NOTE: In both cases there's 2 "/" after "rtsp:" (forum software won't allow displaying 2 together).

And whatever you do, if you have autotracking now, DO NOT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE or you will lose autotracking...

Thanks for the NOTE: tip.
It explains why I couldn't post the code used for the Axis.


I guess I'll have to play with this setting and If I enable anonymous mode would that also enable anonymous control?


Thank you

Not sure on Axis.
On this Amcrest it only allows viewing of live stream in cam's webGUI, not allowed to even see the configurations of the webGUI, and not RTSP stream to VLC without authentication.

Does anyone know if this camera still on the shipped firmware supports /rtspoverwebsocket? I do not see it in the network tab and I am trying to get direct streaming to web working without offloading to a server or streaming service.

I know autotracking will be gone if you update it, so that is something to consider.

I really do appreciate the reminder.
