Zmodo DVR - video stream url?

[Janastas]

Hi All,

I have a very old Zmodo DD-SBN8 DVR (8 channel via coax, unit has a network port)

I can view the cameras off an android app call tiny cam monitor. (Supplied ip address of dvr, camera channel and credentials along with mobile port)

What I'm trying to work out is if this app can build the connection string / url based off the info I've supplied then i should be able to work out how to do it outside of that app.

The whole reason behind this is I've installed home assistant and managed to get a Dahua NVR up and running to preview the cameras from there.

I'm hoping to do the same with my Zmodo DVR.

Does anyone have any experience with this or some recommendations? And I've already googled the hell out of this and there's not much I can find that has been useful.

Thanks

Yep already looked there.

They're for camera's only from what I can tell.

I'm looking at how to do it for my zmodo DVR (DD-SBN-8) and then connect to a particular channel.

The cameras are connected to the DVR via coax so you can only cannot to the DVR directly.

If you look at the list you will see that there are dvr's and nvr's on there as well. They have the {channel} in the string.

Thanks for that.

I've copies all the lines related to zmodo cameras that have the word channel in them and de-duped it and came back with the following possible url string.

FFMPEG	rtsp:/	/user=admin_password=tlJwpbo6_channel=1_stream=0.sdp
VLC	rtsp:/	[CHANNEL]
VLC	rtsp:/	[CHANNEL]/1:1/main
VLC	rtsp:/	cam[CHANNEL]/h264
MJPEG	rtsp:/	cam[CHANNEL]/mjpeg
VLC	rtsp:/	cam[CHANNEL]/mpeg4
MJPEG	http://	cgi-bin/video.jpg?cam=[CHANNEL]&quality=3&size=2
VLC	http://	cgi-bin/view.cgi?chn=[CHANNEL]&u=[USERNAME]&p=[PASSWORD]
JPEG	http://	image/[CHANNEL].jpg
VLC	rtsp:/	mpeg4/[CHANNEL]/media.amp
JPEG	http://	snap.jpg?JpegCam=[CHANNEL]
JPEG	http://	snapshot.cgi?camera=[CHANNEL]
JPEG	http://	snapshot.jpg?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]&strm=[CHANNEL]
JPEG	http://	stillimg[CHANNEL].jpg
VLC	rtsp:/	VideoInput/[CHANNEL]/h264/1

I'll have to go through these one by one and see what works.



Also I tried to find available urls via iSpy and nothing came back, does that mean that iSpy already tried the above?

I tried the ful list and have had no luck.

Ispy can't find any URLs on port 554 or 80, I know my device can be connected to on the mobile port which is 9000 through tinycam monitor and chat word just fine.

I did notice if I tried a URL as follows I did get a mini httpd page not found error.

http://user:password@192.168.100.1:8080/some

resource

I might try the zmodo forums next but from I've read rtsp is not available so it must use some sort of http url
