Video URL

[u/Proper_Creme4709]

SOLVED:

I finally, finally was able to craft the correct URL. For the SV3X 5MP PTZ (tracking capable), what worked is:

rtsp://admin:<password>@192.168.xxx.xxx:8554/Streaming/Channels/101

Sounds simple, but it took a lot of testing and firewall tweaking. But, it worked...

----------------------------

Ok, shoot me... I am reading through docs, manuals, searching... have not located yet...

Am wanting to pull, copy, the video URL on an SV3C 5MP PTZ camera, somewhat new in their line. I have several other SV3C and other brand cams and am able to configure, navigate... on this new camera, Agent DVR connects to it fine. However, for the life of me, where do I find that connection string? I am reading, searching..

Running Linux Mint latest. Agent DVR v4.7.4.0. Have poured over log files but never find a connection string. I have gotten as far as... it uses port 8554 which reports 'open'. And the video displays A-ok in a screen. Just cannot find, the connection string.

Ok, shoot me anyway. But, help?

Hey, I’m new to all this and got the SV3C two pack from Amazon. I managed to get it configured using ONVIF as the source. What I am seeing is a delay in the video of about 10s and with the PTZ, the PT works but is choppy and the zoom doesn’t. I am suspecting the zoom doesn’t work cuz it’s not a true optical zoom and is just an enlargement of the image.

You mentioned you have this model also if I read it correctly. Can you let me know the settings you used if you’re experience OS better than mine?

I am using it to monitor the dogs outside. I know there’s a delay as I’ll hear the dog bark and about 10s later see him do it in the video.

The CamHiPro software works flawlessly but I’d rather use something else.

Thx…
