The following instructions are for the VLC media player software (you can
download a free copy from www.videolan.org). After download, double click
the file then follow the on-screen instructions for installation.
RTSP Enable: Click the drop down menu to enable.
Verify: Leave the default selection if you would like VLC to verify your us-
ername and password for access, otherwise click the drop down menu to
disable.
RTSP Port: The default port number will work in most circumstances.
1. On your computer, load the VLC media player software. Click “Media” then
click “Open Network Stream”.
2. Enter the IP address of your NVR (on your NVR click “Network” in the Main
Menu to display the IP address) into VLC. The following is an example of what
you need to enter - (rtsp://192.168.99.160:554/ch01/0).
rtsp://192.168.99.160: This is the IP address of your NVR.
554: This is the RTSP port of your NVR.
ch01: This represents channel 1. To display channel 2 enter ch02, etc.
0: This represents Mainstream. For Substream enter 1 instead.
3. Click “Play” then enter the user name and password (if required). You will
now see a live view image from the camera.
· Don’t forget to click “Save”
to apply settings.
· Click the “Default” button to
revert back to default settings.
· Click the “Close” button to
exit the Main Menu.
The RTSP function can be
used to stream a camera’s
live view image to your com-
puter, using video streaming
software such as VLC me-
dia player. Multiple cameras
can be streamed at the same
time. You can also record
each stream if required.
