Yes. That is possible. Use this format.



RTSP without Authentication (NVR/DVR/IPC/Encoder) rtsp:/<IP address of device>:<RTSP port>/Streaming/channels/<channel number><stream number> NOTE: <stream number> represents main stream (01), or the sub stream (02)

Example: rtsp:/173.200.91.70:10554/Streaming/channels/101 – get the main stream of the 1st channel rtsp:/173.200.91.70:10554/Streaming/channels/102 – get the sub stream of the 1st channel

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

Example: rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:10554/Streaming/channels/1701 – get the main stream of the 17th channel (1st IP camera on the Hybrid Demo) rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:10554/Streaming/channels/1902 – get the sub stream of the 19th channel (3rd IP camera on the Hybrid Demo)

HTTP commands to get IPC MJPEG stream 1. Camera firmware need to be v4.1 or higher 2. Can only stream the Sub stream via HTTP 3. Need to change the Sub stream video encoding to MJPEG 4. Resolution can be changed via web interface NOTE: If the HTTP port of the device is still 80 (default), then “:<HTTP port>” is not required.

HTTP without Authentication http://<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview

HTTP with Authentication http://<username>:<password>@<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview

Snapshot using HTTP URL http://<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/1/picture

@ghurty ,
Please note that @lewic passed on some great info to you, however, be advised that the forum software will not allow 2 slash marks after "rstp", so where you see "rstp:/" there should be 2 of the "/" (slashes).
