How to Access Hikvision IP Cameras using RTSP

How to Access a Hikvision Device using the RTSP ( Real Time Streaming Protocol ) 

RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) access is supported by all current Hikvision IP devices. The method of access is determined by the device and the firmware.

DVRs . With firmware v2.2.x, v3.x, and higher (for example, 7100HWISL, 7200HFISH, 7200HVISV, 7200HWISH series)

rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/(h264/MPEG-4)/ch(CANAL)/(main/sub)/av_stream

Example:

rtsp://admin:12345@midvr.dyndns.org:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream

IP cameras . With firmware 5.x and higher (tested on 5.1.0, 5.1.6 and 5.2.0).

rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/(h264/MPEG-4)/ch(CANAL)/(main/sub)/av_stream
rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/Streaming/Channels/(CANAL)

Example:

rtsp://admin:12345@micamaraip.dyndns.org:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream («main» para el stream principal, «sub» para el substream)
rtsp://admin:12345@micamaraip.dyndns.org:554/Streaming/Channels/1 (canal 1 para el stream principal, canal 2 para el substream)

NVRs . With firmware v3.x and higher.

rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/Streaming/Channels/(CANAL)(stream)

Example:

rtsp: // admin: 12345@minvr.dyndns.org: 554 / Streaming / Channels / 101 (the first number indicates the channel; "01" indicates the main stream, "02" the substream)
