Anyone had any luck linking to hikvision?

Do you have the same ports for ONVIF in the config web page and the Hikvision IP cam setup page?

I have tried for the Camera address:

• 192.168.0.158/av_stream
• 192.168.0.158/av_stream/ch0
• rtsp://192.168.0.158/av_stream/ch0

Management port:

• 1000 (to match the config page on the sonoff cam)
• 80

These are my settings: I keep getting network is unreachable.

Yes, have tried every combination but still wont connect

Looking at the hikvision docs for newer devices here: https://www.hikvision.com/content/dam/hikvision/en/support/how-to/how-to-document/nvr/How-to-Add-IP-Camera-with-Custom-Protocol.pdf

We are meant to set a custom protocol which would provide the stream path URL

eg.rtsp://192.168.0.158/av_stream/ch0

Where hikvision NVR are looking at these stream paths instead:

Main stream : streaming/channels/101 or ch1/main/av_stream ; Sub stream : streaming/channels/102 or ch1/sub/av_stream .

What might help is if we could somehow find a way to configure the sonoff cam to output RTSP to a path matching what Hikvision is expecting

I have had mine working for a couple of months now.

For the IP, put in the IP only, do not put anything else such as "av_stream".

Protocol: ONVIF Port: 80 (or whatever port is set in the configuration) Channel: 1 Transfer protocol: TCP

Give it a try.

I can confirm the post above. Don't add a path to the ip address. Use TCP port 1000 (if you are using default settings).

The cam sends to the onvif client the correct rtsp address with the correct path. rtsp://192.168.0.158/av_stream/ch0 You don't need to specify it.

The HiWatch (lower end product) doesnt seem to like it all. Time to ditch Hikvision for something else. Thanks anyway

[roleoroleo]

Sorry but ONVIF is a non-standard standard. :(

@roleoroleo I have had some luck. It turns out i needed to set the following ONVIF settings in the camera web page:

In my case ONVIF Profile was not set to both. Also make sure the password for RTSP is correct, I had to set from the ewelink app, as the webpage was not updating and kept reverting to an old password. I checked and confirmed this by inspect the password field and change the input type="text" instead of "password"

Therefore I am assuming the stream was not being broadcast for the DVR to pick it up. My DVR only allowed me to select from Channel 1 when adding the camera

Also make sure the password for RTSP is correct, I had to set from the ewelink app, as the webpage was not updating and kept reverting to an old password. I checked and confirmed this by inspect the password field and change the input type="text" instead of "password"

From webpage, did you change only password or both username and password?

[Awethentique]

I just updated the password and it worked. Hikvision DVR for some reason throws "unknown error" instead of "password incorrect" or anything about "authentication failure" keeps changing the management port to 554 but thats ok, it still works fine.
