Access Multiple IP8M-2493EW cameras

[kss18]

I have many IP8M-2493EW cameras connected to the NVR and they seem to be working well.

I am trying to reach the cameras by using:

http://userid:password@nvr_ip/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi? ...

I have tried various strings like channel=3, chn=3, camera=3 etc., but when it does work, I am getting video from only one camera.

What is the correct incantation for accessing each camera individually? What other streaming formats can I use?

Thanks.

Hello kss18 ,

The code for http streaming is below. You need to replace the channel no with each channel number of the NVR to get the correct camera streams.

http://user:Pwd@ip:port/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?[channel=<channelno>]&subtype=1

That works, sort of -- I get the pictures, but they are in black and white, blurry and *very* pixelated.

Also, does anyone know the URLs for *ALL* the various streaming formats this camera supports???

TIA

OK, more experimenting with URLs...

This works well for a single camera --

rtsp://user:passwd@NVR_IP_ADDRESS/

The protocol was UDP; NVR_IP_ADDRESS is on the LAN, however all the cameras are NAT'd to 10.1.1.x.

Can this RTSP URL be modified to address the other cameras attached to the NVR?
