RTSP camera setup

This is the most important step in the whole setup: you have to tell the app each camera's RTSP URL.

What's RTSP?

RTSP is the live-video URL format used across the CCTV industry:

rtsp://username:password@camera-ip:port/path

Real example:

rtsp://admin:pass1234@192.168.1.64:554/Streaming/Channels/101

How to find your RTSP URL

• Check your camera or NVR manual.
• Log into the camera's web UI → Network / Stream settings.
• Hikvision typical: /Streaming/Channels/101 (main stream).

Uploading camera.json

Form 1 — string array:

[
  "rtsp://admin:pass@192.168.1.64:554/Streaming/Channels/101",
  "rtsp://admin:pass@192.168.1.65:554/Streaming/Channels/101"
]

Form 2 — object with cameras field:

{
  "cameras": [
    "rtsp://admin:pass@192.168.1.64:554/Streaming/Channels/101"
  ]
}

1. In the app, click "Upload Camera Config" in the top right.
2. Choose your camera.json.
3. On success the log shows: "Loaded N RTSP URLs from camera.json."
