Hi All, 

i'm picking up on a older project, i placed a new Hikvision NVR in place of an old recorder. 

I Can't get the H264 stream to work. With the video tool i use:

rtsp://user:pass@ip:rtspport/Streaming/Channels/102?transportmode=unicast
Channel 1 / substream 2

In VLC it's working fine, it says there it's H264, and it should work on an iPad. 

Anybody some suggestions?


greetings, 

Ewald

RTSP is not supported. You will need to use an MJPEG stream.

Hi Jarrod, 

thanks for the quick response. Then i'm unlucky, therefore h264 is the only thing hikvision can output. Or anybody with some suggestions?

Hi Ewald

Try this:

http://user:password@<IP ADDRESS>/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture  (for Ch1)
http://user:password@<IP ADDRESS>/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/201/picture  (for Ch2)

You will need to auto refresh it every 500ms. Not pretty but its a way around getting an image from HIK

I setup a VLC restream. It's alot easier than it sounds and has been very stable and uses very low CPU.

Hi folks, 
    I have a few cameras that only do rtsp and do can not be shown in iViewer. 
So I have setup VLC on a windows (and also tested on a linux server) to re-stream the rtsp as http. Note in my case, these are 5MP and 4 MP cams so  i use one of the secondary streams which are set to a lower resolution.
On Windows I had to use an earlier version of VLC as the current versions gave an error. I am using VLC 2.1.5 on Windows.
The Windows command I am using is as follows.
vlc.exe -I dummy -R rtsp://account:password@192.168.40.13/Streaming/Channels/2 --sout "#transcode{fps=20,acodec=none}:standard{access=http{mime=multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad720ed50a},mux=mpjpeg,dst=:8883/videostream.cgi}"
This is then accessed in guiDesigner Video Window as Stream URL: http://192.168.0.11:8883/videostream.cgi
(Where 192.168.40.13 is the IP of my rtsp streaming camera and 192.168.0.11 is the IP of the Windows box running vlc to do the restream).
cpu usage is pretty low (5-10% per stream on a 1.6Ghz Celeron ) I hope that helps some others out as VLC's wiki instructions is way above my pay grade!

Hi!
I have to pick up this old thread...
@Simon:
That is the path for images not for video? So do you use the video tool in iviewer or the Web page tool or the image tool?

Thx in advance

Olaf

I assume image tool, due to mentioning the auto refresh setting which is only in the image properties.
