SubStream 2 URL

[Chapin]

I'm trying to set up my dahua cams in my automation software.

Is there a list of urls (&syntax) for viewing various streams? My automation software (Homeseer) needs a mjpeg stream I think. I've set up substream 2 for this.

Thanks.

Standby, found and am trying some of the suggestions here:
Dahua Connection URLs

Those didn't work, will keep looking.

Got this to work through my NVR in VLC, but not from a camera or in Homeseer.

rtsp://<user>:<password>@NVRIP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=4&subtype=2

It's all in here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/amcrest-files/Amcrest+HTTP+API+3.2017.pdf

MJPEG should work in your web browser too. If other software is giving you trouble it's probably because the cameras now default to using digest auth instead of basic. You can change this in the settings.

Thanks. Checking this out now.

FYI, I have a rebranded Dahua (Amcrest IP2M-842W) that works with the URL's and syntax provided by @tangent as follows:

MJPG WORKS IN GOOGLE CHROME:

http://user:password@camera-IP/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi

and

http://user:password@camera-IP/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=0

RTSP WORKS IN VLC:

rtsp://user:password@camera-IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

Thanks. Have this working in the web browser.

Using:
http://User:password@CamIP/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=2

It does not work in homeseer. I'm guessing it is the digest auth vs basic.

I don't see this setting, -- Found it, Setting>System>Safety>RTSP Authentication->Basic I presume this is correct, trying now.

Thanks all.

I've got the MJPEG working in browser and the RTSP in VLC.

I'm satisfied that this is working well. Now to figure out how to make Homeseer work with these. That's on a different forum.
