5 ADDING A CAMERA TO AN NVR
The following gives some basic guidance for adding EV8x8x 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
5.1 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
example: 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.
