If you own a Hikvision 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. The same RTSP url format works for Hilook devices as well.
- The settings for Hikvision cameras are built right into our free surveillance software - click 'Add' then 'IP camera with wizard' to automatically setup your Hikvision cameras. Remember to also try connecting via ONVIF as Hikvision cameras may support ONVIF connections as well. Start typing in the 'Make' box to find your camera.
- So i choosed another way to add that CPPLUS IP Camera in Hikvision DVR with RTSP Protocal. I setup Hikvision NVR and RTSP Protocal and add CPPLUS IP Camera RTSP URL.

This has to be done directly on the DVR Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub. Already have an account? To upgrade the firmware of a Hikvision DVR/NVR. Note: If the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) port is defaulted to 554 (on older model/firmware) it is recommended to change this port to 10554 or 1024 when experiencing connection issues over 3G/4G connection. RTSP Port = 554 HTTPS Port = 443. It is only necessary to open TCP ports from the above range as Hikvision products do not use UDP for communications. We would advise that you turn off the ‘Enable DHCP' functionality from within the DVR / NVR and also untick the.
Hikvision RTSP: rtsp:// [USER] : [PASS] @ [ADDRESS] : [RTSP PORT] /Streaming/Channels/ [CH] 0 [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:
Hikvision Main Stream: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.100:554/Streaming/Channels/101
Hikvision Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.100:554/Streaming/Channels/102
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:
Hp multi scanner. Hikvision Main Stream: rtsp://admin:password@105.152.15.99:554/Streaming/Channels/101
Hikvision Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:password@105.152.15.99:554/Streaming/Channels/102
RTSP without Authentication
rtsp://:/Streaming/channels/
Note: represents main stream(01), or the sub stream(02)
Example:
rtsp://173.200.91.70:10554/Streaming/channels/101 –get the main stream of the first channel
rtsp://173.200.91.70:10554/Streaming/channels/102 –get the sub stream of the first channel
As you can see from the video above, all you need to do is open VLC Media Player click on 'Media' and choose 'Open Network Stream..'. The most important thing is the RTSP stream URL. Here is the explanation for Hikvision RTSP Stream URL link:
