If you own a Uniview device such as an IP camera or a NVR/DVR, you can use the RTSP protocol to live stream. RTSP stands for Real Time Streaming Protocol, a network protocol for streaming the videos in real-time. Basically, it’s designed to send audio or video live from one device to another.
Uniview RTSP URL format
For NVR: rtsp:// [USER] : [PASS] @ [ADDRESS] : [RTSP PORT] /unicast/c [CH] /s[STREAM TYPE]/live
For IP camera (IPC): rtsp:// [USER] : [PASS] @ [ADDRESS] : [RTSP PORT] /media/video[STREAM TYPE]
Fill in your information as follows:
- [USER] – This is the username to access your device (IP camera, NVR, DVR)
- [PASS] – This is the password to the user
- [ADDRESS] – This can be the IP address or the domain / DDNS name of your device
- [RTSP PORT] – This is the RTSP port of your device, the default is normally 554
- [CH] – This refers to the channel number that you want to pull
- [STREAM TYPE] – 0 for main stream (highest resolution), 1 for substream (low resolution, but faster)
Example 1. Local IP address
The local IP address of the device is: 192.168.1.100 and the RTSP port is 554. These are the RTSP streaming addresses:
EZView Main Stream: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.100:554/unicast/c1/s1/live
EZView Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.100:554/unicast/c1/s2/live
EZView IPC Main Stream: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.100:554/media/video1
EZView IPC Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.100:554/media/video2
Example 2. External IP address
The local IP address of the device is: 105.152.15.99 and the RTSP port is 554. These are the RTSP streaming addresses:
EZView Main Stream: rtsp://admin:password@105.152.15.99:554/unicast/c1/s1/live
EZView Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:password@105.152.15.99:554/unicast/c1/s2/live
EZView IPC Main Stream: rtsp://admin:password@105.152.15.99:554/media/video1
EZView IPC Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:password@105.152.15.99:554/media/video2
