Mjpeg URL for Dahua IP Cameras

[fas 0]

I need to find the mjpeg URL for Dahua 2mp bullet and dome cameras to integrate with a control system. Most cameras like axis, iqeye, panasonic, etc all have an mjpeg stream url.

 

Does anyone know the mjpeg URL for Dahua IP cameras?

 

Thanks.

Depends on your firmware. The latest firmwares have ONVIF implementation and the URL is ip/onvif/media_service/snapshot

Dex,

 

I know it depends on the firmware.

 

Does that url you posted produce a snapshot, or live video?

 

I am asking for live video that will feed a control system.

 

Thanks.

That is the snapshot URI.

 

Well, MJPEG video is not available (yet) and i don't think it will be. MJPEG it's way too old and a bandwidth hog, so support has been stopped for it in a while.

 

Your best choice is to make a "proxy server", to restream from RTSP to MJPEG.

I know, but unfortunately all control systems use an mjpeg feed for video. So that means we need it.

 

Axis, iqeye, panasonic, etc all have a separate mjpeg url feeds.

 

I wonder why Dahua does not?

depends on the hardware used and the producation date

 

I might say DAHUA uses CPU power for other functions, rather encoding in MJPEG.

I got this to work ! with a Dahuah Camera.

 

The url should look like this

 

http://192.168.0.221:9989/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

 

 

I got it to work with my HAI omni 5.7.

 

I selected camera type as jpeg
