Hikvision NVR DS-7600 RTSP address?

Hi,

I already successfully configured a Hikvision camera rtsp address in VLC but now I'm stuck with a NVR RTSP address.

The NVR is a HikVision DS-7608NI-SE/P. It work very well with iVMS4200 and iVMS4500. The RTSP port is 554. The other port (HTTP, HTTPS and SDK) isn't the default one. There is 6 IP Cam connected to the NVR in port 2,3,4,5,6 and 7.

I already searched and I cannot find a working rtsp url.

So here are the address i tested :

rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch1/main/av_stream
rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch1/main/av_stream
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream
rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch2/main/av_stream
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch3/main/av_stream
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch4/main/av_stream
rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch2/main/av_stream
rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch3/main/av_stream
rtsp://<USER>:<PASS>@<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch4/main/av_stream

the following with and without ":554" port

rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/MPEG-4/ch1/main/av_stream 
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/MPEG4/ch1/main/av_stream 
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/mpeg4/ch1/main/av_stream 
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/mpeg-4/ch1/main/av_stream

the VLC error I got

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/h264/ch1/main/av_stream'. Check the log for details.

The strange thing is when I tried IPCam rtsp address (without user/password).

rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/1

VLC ask me the user/password (never asked with the other address) . The mean VLC can contact the NVR.

but after entering the admin and admin password I have the same error.

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/1'. Check the log for details.

So I tested

rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/1

So I tested

rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/2
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/3
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/4
rtsp://<NVR_IP_ADDRESS>/Streaming/Channels/5

all asked me the user/password but i have the same error message

So what the rtsp address to access the stream for each camera with a NVR ?

Thanks

Ok I also contact Hikvision support and they have already answered

So here is the rtsp address :

rtsp://[admin]:[12345]@:[PORT]/Streaming/Channels/

between [] is optional (depend on your config)

between <> is mandatory

ID is for an NVR (DVR I suppose too) YXX where Y = channel number and XX is main (01) or sub stream (02)

so

ID 501 = Channel 5 main stream

ID 402 = Channel 4 sub stream

...

ex :

rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.0.64/Streaming/Channels/201
rtsp://192.168.1.64/Streaming/Channels/602

What I was looking for, thanks!

I have no problem with DVR 2.x, DVR 3.x, and IPC, but I wasn't able to get RTSP working with my NVR. It is strange that I can use the substreams with no problems (like 102), but I can not get the main styreams to show up (like 101). I do connect, but VLC will just sit there forever. But it is surely better than nothing, so I do not have to open the RTSP ports on those IPCs one by one.
