Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me with a Hikvision DS-2CD2T46G2-2I camera.

I'm trying to access the substream via MJPEG. The camera's documentation suggests this is possible, but the URLs provided in the Hikvision guides don't seem to work for my model. I've tried various combinations based on the documentation, but I consistently get errors or no stream at all.

Has anyone successfully configured MJPEG substream output on this specific camera model or a similar Hikvision camera? If so, could you please share the correct URL format or any specific settings I might be overlooking?

Any advice or working examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
 
Under Security tab, there is RTSP and WEB Authentication

If you are using user:password@ip option, this has to be set Digest/Basic

Also be aware that edge might have trouble running mjpeg stream, try chrome

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to configure RTSP or web authentication under the "Security" tab. The only option I have is to change the password for the web interface in the "Login Management" section. Even when I change it to a weaker password, I still can't access it.

Could you me what the correct URL format would be for accessing the camera with a password? Maybe I'm using an incorrect URL.WebInterface.png

Some of what few notes I have on Hikvision:

HTTP commands to get IPC MJPEG stream
1. Camera firmware need to be v4.1 or higher​
2. Can only stream the Sub stream via HTTP​
3. Need to change the Sub stream video encoding to MJPEG​
4. Resolution can be changed via web interface​

NOTE: If the HTTP port of the device is still 80 (default), then “:<HTTP port>” is not required.

HTTP without Authentication
http://<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview​

HTTP with Authentication
http://<username>:<password>@<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP port>/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview​
