ADDING A CAMERA TO AN NVR
The following gives some basic guidance for adding cameras to an NVR system that supports RTSP
streaming. Please refer to the NVR instructions for specific details on how to add and administer cameras
for the NVR system.
When adding a camera to an NVR, the NVR will likely require 3 configuration parameters from the camera:
－
An RTSP URL
－
An HTTP Port Number
－
The administrator username and password
RTSP URL
The RTSP URL will likely be the Profile 1 stream from the camera which by default will be in the following
format:
rtsp://[
IP ADDRESS
]/rtpvideo1.sdp
This assumes that the default port, 554, is being used, the “rtpvideo” access name is defined, and camera
profile stream 1 is being used.
Below is the Stream Setting page which defines the RTSP port and the Access Name.
If the Access Name and/or RTSP Port have been changed, then specify the RTSP URL in the following
format:
rtsp://[
IP ADDRESS
]:[
PORT#
]/[
ACESSNAME
]1.sdp
If “rtpvideo” was changed to “ev”: rtsp://10.1.21.138:555/ev1.sdp
The camera can be configured with multiple independent streams. The Video Settings page lists
information related to the different profile streams.
