How do I add a RTSP Camera?

First, make sure you have your RTSP Details ready.

• Device Name
  What are you calling this device? E.g. Demo Device
  
  
• Area
  What Area/Site is the Device being added to? (e.g. SureView UK Office)
  
  
• OpsLink
  What OpsLink you are using with this device (if any). - See Ops Link support page for more details
  
  
• IP / Hostname
  What’s the IP address or DNS address for the device?
  • If you are not using an OpsLink you will need the EXTERNAL address of the RTSP Device
  • If you are using an OpsLink you will need the INTERNAL address of the RTSP Device (from the perspective of the OpsLink)
    
    
• Port
  What’s the RTSP port for the device? E.g. 554
  
  
• Username & Password
  What’s the credentials for this device
  
  
• Extra Value
  This is where the “RTSP URL” goes. The exact url depends on the type of device.  HikVision and Dahua are shown below but if you need to add a different manufacturer the RTSP address can usually be found with the manufacturers documentation or online by searching “Manufacturer Name RTSP Address”
  
  For example Hikvision's RTSP Address is
  

  Streaming/Channels/{#}03

  
  The {#}is a placeholder for the camera number
  The 03 indicates the Stream Subtype that SureView will use. The Device’s Substream MUST be set to H.264. You can use a different substream number as long as the corresponding stream is set to H.264 on the device.
  
  
• Cameras
  How many cameras can this device have?
