Hikvision IP camera problem

hik-user · Post by **hik-user** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 5:21 am

hi everyone,
i tried to use Hikvision DS-2CD886MF ip camera as Remote with ZoneMinder, but i can't find Remote Host Path, has anyone know it?

Well, i connected to camera through telnet and don't find any .jpg, .mpeg, or .cgi files, but i find file video0 in directory /dev (/dev/video0).
(Camera has linux busybox file system)

any ideas?
(maybe mount somehow /dev/video0 from camera to my host, i don't know how)

Is there any web interface? How are you intended to view the image with this camera - can you get a jpg or mjpeg url from that interface?

yes, there is HikVision web interface, and it works well, but i can't find any url

Does the web-interface stream video? If so, just look at the source of the web-page... that will give you a clue of how it's loading the stream. If you see something enclosed in an <img></img> tag, you may be looking at an MJPEG stream for example.

Here is the code from http://cam_ip_addr/NetVideoOCX.htm
, but its not very helpful.

Well HikVision can also stream through RTSP (port 554) - i tried it with VLC-player (rtsp://cam_ip_addr) - it request login/pass, but then there was just black screen

<html>
<head>
<title>Net Viewer</title>

<SCRIPT>
function workaround()
{
window.document.all.item("ocx").style.display = "none"
window.document.all.item("ocx").style.display = ""
}
</SCRIPT>

</head>

<form><WINDWEB_URL>
<input>

</form>

<body>
<div>

<table>
<tr>
<td>

<object>

</object>
<script>
//document.activex.url.value="https://192.0.0.227"
document.activex.url.value=document.URL
var OCXobj = document.getElementById("NetOCX");
OCXobj.SetServerIP(activex.url.value)
if (screen.width<=800)
{
table.width=1004;
table.height=600;
NetOCX.width=1004;
NetOCX.height=600;
}
else
{
table.width=screen.width - 22;
table.height=screen.height - 166;
NetOCX.width=screen.width - 22;
NetOCX.height=screen.height - 166;
}

</script>
</td>
</tr>
<center>

</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>

One option that can help is putting you camera on the internet so we can poke around and possibely fine the url.

FWIW I have a HIKVision dome camera working in Zoneminder using FFmpeg.
The source path is; rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.0.13:554/St ... nels/1?tcp

ralph179, thanks for the help. It took almost 2 months for the new camera to get here but your url and advice to use ffmpeg worked.
Thanks again.
