How to use RTSP stream from the NVR?

a week ago - last edited Monday

Tags: #Playback #OVNIF/RTSP #Live View

Model: VIGI NVR1004H

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.0 Build 250724 Rel.53724n

From the screenshot below, I could see the port 554 is being used for RTSP, but I dont know how to use it.

I have cam0, cam1, cam2 setup in the nvr. I would like to access the RTSP stream from devices in the tailnet.

rtsp://ip/live/0/1/avm

IP is the IP of NVR, live is live broadcast, channel 0 only has live broadcast, 0 represents channel 0, 1 represents the main stream, and there is only the main stream.

Hi Clive,

Thank you for the details.

For the model (VIGI NVR1004H), the camera channels seems to start with index 1, not 0. I can confirm that the following works. Do let me know if I understand this right.

Also let me know if playback is also possible.

cam0

mainstream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/1/1/avm

substream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/1/2/avm

cam1

mainstream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/2/1/avm

substream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/2/2/avm

cam2

mainstream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/3/1/avm

substream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/3/2/avm

Thanks,

I would really wish someone helps me out here. I just want to use RTSP passed to frigate so I can have customized alarms / monitoring.
