Setting up an IP camera
If your camera is an IP camera (RTSP protocol) then go to the camera setup tab and choose “IP camera”.
Now enter the RTSP URL of your camera in the input box and click “connect”. If the address is correct, a view of what the camera sees should appear on the right.
RTSP URLs
The RTSP URL of a camera will depend on the camera but is usually a standard 4-digit IP address followed by optional parameters.
Please consult the camera manual to find the correct format for your camera's URL.
If the camera has a password you should include the user name and password in the address, as shown below.
Examples of RTSP URLs
rtsp://192.168.1.88/ rtsp://192.168.1.88/22 rtsp://192.168.1.92/stream/live rtsp://192.168.1.210:554/Streaming/Channels/101
Examples of RTSP URLs with username 'admin' and password '1234'
