Stream Media Server Hikvision Download

The way I understand it is you just install iVMS 4200 on a computer and install the stream media server tool and then go to any computer with iVMS that wants to watch the cameras and just add a device and point it to that servers IP address, rather than pulling off the NVR directly since there is a 2 person limit.
On the iVMS-4500 mobile app, I can access and view each individual cam (adding one cam at a time -8801,8802,8803,8804). But I cant get any live stream from the server, I get a "Receiving data from the device timed out." In the Stream Media Server app, I can see the IP from my phone Enter, but it Exits after about 10 second. In the mobile app, the "Start Live View" button does appear so I believe it does see the server. When port forwarding was not set up properly this button would not show.
They don't update their literature for most new releases and it could have been removed. It's been a while but it used to install in several parts, the client, server piece and "stream media server". Ensure you installed all of them. Later versions have full and lite versions, ensure you installed the full.
RTSP itself does not stream media, it is just a control channel used by clients to tell media server where and when to send media. You will probably need to open additional ports in order to get the video stream.
However, this option is not really bandwidth-efficient and you can not serve multiple concurrent viewers (most of IP Cams have 10 viewers limit). The better option is to upload a single RTSP stream to centrally-hosted streaming server, which will convert your stream to RTMP/MPEG-TS and publish it to Flash players/Set-Top boxes.
The description in the link is detailed and easy to follow, but I still had some tweaks to deal with before I got it to work (regarding endpoints on the NodeJS server). I asked Re-stream RTSP from IP cam with Node Media Server to http/ws and display it with html and received a good answer.
One option would be to use some sort of streaming server/gateway. I tried various solutions (vlc, ffmpeg and a few more) and the one that worked best for me was Janus WebRTC server. It is somewhat difficult to set up, and you will have to compile it from source(when I tried it the version in Ubuntu repos didn't have RTSP support), but they have detailed compiling instructions and documentation on how to set everything up.
For purposes like this one I use VLC as a redistribution server. You said you get to catch the video with VLC? Right-click on the media in VLC, select "stream" and choose your options. You can also do it with command line, which gives you potential benefits of various option (transcoding, scaling, compressing, desinterlacing).Here is a batch that starts VLC distribution from source to its own 555 port (so you will have to type rstp://myvlcserveripaddress:555 in your src option on the webpage to get the stream)

If only RTSP can be used to access a video stream, you will need an additional transcoder on your LAN, such as Blue Iris, or, for Android, try the App "tinyCam Monitor Pro". It can read RTSP feeds and it runs a mini-webserver that outputs MJPEG streams.
This is not how I handle mine. I run a web server at home that is accessible through a DNS record (a name lookup i.e. google.com). This DNS entry points to a 192.168 IP at home and my external IP elsewhere. That web server pulls a picture from all of my cameras every 5 seconds and stores them in a password protected folder. Then I have actiontiles media entries configured to pull those pictures from the web server. Actiontiles never touches a camera and the same media entries work both at home and away from home. However, this is a much more complicated and technically challenging way to do it.
i finally got this working on my setup today. In reading the hikvision manual for substreams, I noticed a slight difference in the url. I had to capitalize the P in httpPreview. Without the cap, it would work in a browser, but not actiontiles. I changed to cap and after encoding the username and password in base64, everything worked.
VLC media player (previously the VideoLAN Client and commonly known as simply VLC) is a free and open-source, portable, cross-platform media player software and streaming media server developed by the VideoLAN project. VLC is available for desktop operating systems and mobile platforms, such as Android, iOS and iPadOS. VLC is also available on digital distribution platforms such as Apple's App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store. VLC supports many audio- and video-compression-methods and f...
Verkada does not support an RTSP stream as the video feed is directly sent to Cloud servers. They have promised to "unlock" the RTSP feed urls if they go bankrupt. Verkada uses modified Vivotek hardware, so if they do go bankrupt, refer to the Vivotek tab.
