I installed a new hikvision camera yesterday. I configured motion detection, schedules, etc... It worked fine all day yesterday, until I left... I came back today and have not been able to stream live feed with quicktime. What could have gone wrong? I already did soft reboots, hard reboot, and "restore"... nothing gives... model DS-2CD2432F-IW

I'm trying to get a Hikvision camera to play the main feed on a website. The camera model is: ds-2cd2432f-iw It works fine when I connect to it directly and watch the live feed with either the webcomponents or quicktime plugins. Quicktime seems to get better video and audio quality, so I'd like to make it work with QT... But I'm open to any working solution. I've looked around the web and found several fragments of code, including one very complete website from columbia.edu however I can't get it to work. Using the AC_QuickTime.js (apple library) This link works fine: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">QT_WriteOBJECT('rtsp://quicktime.tc.columbia.edu:554/users/lrf10/movies/sixties.mov','600','400','', 'autoplay', 'false'); </script> When I change the url to it doesn't stream: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">QT_WriteOBJECT('rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.1.64/h264/ch1/main/av_stream','600','400','', 'autoplay', 'false'); </script> Thanks!

In your use cases, how often to you refresh the snapshots?

The particular use case for this project requires access from a limited number of devices. Mainly, monitoring stations and iOS devices. The reason I was looking into Quicktime has to do with iOS, but I haven't been able to confirm that that implementation would work on iOS anyway. I'm also looking into transcoding via node.js to stream via html video. Did you catch the highlights of yesterday's WWDC keynote? They mentioned the upcoming version of safari will have "HTML Premium Video" and mentioned for example that Netflix will be able to stream without the need for any plugins. I wonder if that "Premium Video" will include RTSP??

Don, that is a GREAT idea! It is very compelling because it would provide a true cross browser solution. Allthough I will still need to sort out how to get realtime video feed as it may be needed... I'll definitely look into adding this to the mix. Regards, Carlo

I have a ds-2cd2432f-iw recording on the SD card. How can I connect to the sd card without removing it from the camera to download all the videos on it? I tried FTP with the admin user and was not successful. Any ideas?

worth a shot! thanks!

We are changing our DVR + analog systems for NVR + IP systems. Our main goal is to integrate surveillance into our web based Enterprise System. I'm looking for brands that have and support HTTP API for there NVRs. To give examples of things we are trying to achieve: 1) get a snapshot when an employee clocks in/out 2) make custom video surveillance walls in our main office where we can mix video feeds from different locations and can be both live/recorded footage 3) query list of events per camera for a given time range 4) our Enterprise System will flag time ranges that should be reviewed by a supervisor, a supervisor can click a button to start reviewing flagged video and stream starts Until now, I have confirmed that Synology offers this API. I also have found that Dahua has this API, however they don't have it on their webpage only found through google search (their support page forum says to ask your distributor for it). What other NVRs have this API that you know of? If you've had good/bad experiences with APIs please share!
