Zou 0 Posted August 5, 2014 Hi, I already successfully configured a Hikvision camera rtsp address in VLC but now I'm stuck with a NVR RTSP address. The NVR is a HikVision DS-7608NI-SE/P. It work very well with iVMS4200 and iVMS4500. The RTSP port is 554. The other port (HTTP, HTTPS and SDK) isn't the default one. There is 6 IP Cam connected to the NVR in port 2,3,4,5,6 and 7. I already searched and I cannot find a working rtsp url. So here are the address i tested : rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch1/main/av_stream rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch1/main/av_stream rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch2/main/av_stream rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch3/main/av_stream rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch4/main/av_stream rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch2/main/av_stream rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch3/main/av_stream rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch4/main/av_stream the following with and without ":554" port rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/MPEG-4/ch1/main/av_stream rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/MPEG4/ch1/main/av_stream rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/mpeg4/ch1/main/av_stream rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/mpeg-4/ch1/main/av_stream the VLC error I got Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch1/main/av_stream'. Check the log for details. The strange thing is when I tried IPCam rtsp address (without user/password). rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/1 VLC ask me the user/password (never asked with the other address) . The mean VLC can contact the NVR. but after entering the admin and admin password I have the same error. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/1'. Check the log for details. So I tested rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/1 So I tested rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/2 rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/3 rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/4 rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/5 all asked me the user/password but i have the same error message So what the rtsp address to access the stream for each camera with a NVR ?

Zou 0 Posted August 5, 2014 Ok I also contact Hikvision support and they have already answered So here is the rtsp address : rtsp://[admin]:[12345]@:[PORT]/Streaming/Channels/ between [] is optional (depend on your config) between <> is mandatory ID is for an NVR (DVR I suppose too) YXX where Y = channel number and XX is main (01) or sub stream (02) so ID 501 = Channel 5 main stream ID 402 = Channel 4 sub stream ... ex : rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.0.64/Streaming/Channels/201 rtsp://192.168.1.64/Streaming/Channels/602 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted November 10, 2014 What I was looking for, thanks! I have no problem with DVR 2.x, DVR 3.x, and IPC, but I wasn't able to get RTSP working with my NVR. It is strange that I can use the substreams with no problems (like 102), but I can not get the main styreams to show up (like 101). I do connect, but VLC will just sit there forever. But it is surely better than nothing, so I do not have to open the RTSP ports on those IPCs one by one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
