HTTP commands to get IPC MJPEG stream on Hikvision devices

May 31, 2020
in Hikvision

In this guide we will show the HTTP commands to get the MJPEG stream from a Hikvision IP camera. Motion JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video compression format in which each video frame or interlaced field of a digital video sequence is compressed separately as a JPEG image. Originally developed for multimedia PC applications, M-JPEG is now used by CCTV IP cameras as well and it can be useful in certain situations.

Many network-enabled cameras provide M-JPEG streams that network clients can connect to Mozilla and Webkit-based browsers have native support for viewing these M-JPEG streams. Some network-enabled cameras provide their own M-JPEG interfaces as part of the normal feature set. For cameras that don’t provide this feature natively, a server can be used to transcode the camera pictures into an M-JPEG stream and then provide that stream to other network clients.

Keep in mind that HTTP commands on a Hikvision IP camera are available in these conditions:

  • Camera firmware need to be firmware version 4.1 or higher
  • Can only stream the Substream via HTTP
  • Need to change the Substream video encoding to MJPEG
  • Resolution can be changed via web interface

Note: If the HTTP port of the device is still 80 (default), then “:” is not required.

HTTP without Authentication

http://<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview

HTTP with Authentication

http://<username>:<password>@<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview

Snapshot using HTTP URL

http://<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/1/picture

Examples

http://192.168.1.64/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview
http://admin:12345@192.168.1.64/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview
http://192.168.1.64/Streaming/channels/1/picture
