All:

We have 6 HikVision cameras (various types) along with a HikVision DS-7608NI-SE NVR in a system. Cameras plug in directly to the NVR. We are trying to get the cameras to stream to various Crestron panels (TSR-302, TSW's, TSD-2020) and are having issues with the streams.

I've enabled virtual hosting on the NVR.
I've set substreams for all cameras to MJPEG.
I can view RTSP and HTTP streams via VLC.
Nada on Crestron.

Generally, when viewing these cameras directly on panels through a stream, what URL are you all using? Has anyone done this via the virtual hosting?


If all else fails, we are just going to get an extra POE switch and throw the cameras on that instead of the NVR so that everything is on the same subnet (HikVision NVRs have a built in POE switch but it is on its own NIC thus it MUST be on a different subnet than the NVR).

I found this on the RTI forums today

We are going to give the above URL a try as a last stab.


Any help would be greatly appreciate!

Best,
