RTMP Firmware - AcuSense & ColorVu Limited Support

[Teken]

Hikvision most recently provided firmware that updates the hardware to support RTMP. As of this writing there isn't an official release of this firmware or what hardware it covers. All I know is it covers the AcuSense & ColorVu G2 models. I've been told there is also a G1 version of this firmware but haven't seen it listed yet. I have quite a few of the (4MP) DS-2CD2347G1-LU Turrets and would love to update all of them to support RTMP for live streaming when needed.

That is one thing I'll give Dahua as the vast majority of their hardware incorporates (RTMP) and what I consider a basic feature! Having native RTMP support avoids having to prop up a OBS server to offer the same! Which reduces extra hardware, energy consumption, and technical complexity for the Average Joe!

If there are members here that have AcuSense & ColorVu G2 camera's let us know how you get on with this RTMP release.

NOTE: I have not tested this firmware on any security camera as I don't have G2 hardware on hand. Using this firmware is at your own risk and can brick your system if installed on a unsupported hardware platform. If there is any doubt regarding this firmware just don't do it. As upgrading firmware should only be done to correct bugs, security issues, or offer new features!

More specifically can you list out what model this firmware was installed on. I’m hoping this will become the unofficial thread to track this release.

Sending in a formal request of what hardware this firmware covers through Hikvision.

Resulted in nothing but circle talk from their support!

Could someone who has the RTMP firmware installed help me look at the HTML code?

You would need do these steps:

1. Login to the camera's web interface using Chrome
2. Click on the Configuration in the top menu
3. Click on the Advanced Settings on the left pane
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+I or right-click on the web page and select Inspect
5. Click on the select element tool (indicated with a red number 1 in the screen shot)
6. Click on the RTMP menu
7. Take a screen shot of this, showing the RTMP code.

In my screenshot I am showing the Platform Access menu. I need you to send me a screenshot of the RTMP menu.

Restart mean reboot ipc?
Only rtmp is over or ipc not work well?

 

[KamirZG]

Reboot camera yes.
On Youtube stream i can see "stream status excellent", RTMP doesn's show any problems but no stream from camera.
As soon as I reboot camera, without touching Youtube, stream starts.

 

[iTuneDVR]

Ordinal stream from ipc (vlc) or ipc is well then youtube not show video?
Which firmware?
DOWNLOAD EU PORTAL

 

[KamirZG]

IPC seems well but no video on youtube side, but at the same the Youtube seems ok.



Sry for language, it's in my native language (Croatian). You can see that connection is excellent, stream is great but nothing from the camera.

G2 version, don't know about FW. It's at customer's site, didn't remember it. Will check it

 

[iTuneDVR]

Then it stop again, before reboot uncheck rtmp & save, check rtmp & save
Check firmware version.

Checked everything. FW is latest (got it from HIK support).

My point is that i don't want to check or uncheck anything. I can't tell user to login into camera and check/uncheck rtmp.

Hik support can't tell me is there some problem with camera or does somebody else have similiar problems.

KamirZG, did you reset the camera to defaults after you updated to the RTMP firmware? I saw on the DVS video (post #2 above at 9:48 into the video) that you are suppose to reset after updating with the RTMP firmware. Don't know if your issue would be related to that, but it's something you could try.

FW Version?
It's differen than at hik portal?
It's a pity? that you can't access remote to ipc

 

[KamirZG]

Yes i did, without factory you can't enbale RTMP or corretly enter codes. But thanks for effort
