Hikvision Cameras MJPG

TurnipTruck · May 2015

Greetings,

Has anyone had some experience pulling MJPG from Hikvision cameras? I have tried all the regular tricks, but come up with nothing.

Thanks!

You need to setup the substream to MJPEG. Go to setup, video, click main-stream and change it to sub-stream, then set sub-stream to MJPEG with the appropriate frame rate and resolution.

That is what I did. I am able to get the MJPG stream to play in a browser and in VLC, just not on AMX panels.

The URL that I am using is http://IPAddress/Streaming/channels/1/preview

I had AMX look at it and they told me that there needs to be a file name such as image.jpg

If you have had success, could you share the exact URL that you used with AMX panels?

Thanks!

I had an issue like this a while ago with an HAI camera which basically just required [URL]http://IP:Port[/URL] and I couldn't get it to work in TPD4 resource manager because there was no file name. I think I got the idea from Joe H to instead try sending the params via code to the TP not in the TPD4 file and that worked like a charm.

CASE 3 is an axis cam with path and file name while CASE 4 is the HAI cam with only the IP:8008.

             CASE 3://camera 3
             {
             fncAxisCam_QueueTPCmd("itoa(iUI_Indx),'^RMF-Camera_',itoa(n),' LG,%U',cTempUser,'%S',cTempPass,'%H',AXISCAM_IP_ADDRESS[n],
                                '%Aaxis-cgi/mjpg%Fvideo.cgi?resolution=4CIF&compression=50%R1%N0%V0',AXIS_QDELIM");
             fncAxisCam_QueueTPCmd("itoa(iUI_Indx),'^RMF-Camera_',itoa(n),',%U',cTempUser,'%S',cTempPass,'%H',AXISCAM_IP_ADDRESS[n],
                                '%Aaxis-cgi/mjpg%Fvideo.cgi?resolution=CIF%R1%N0%V0',AXIS_QDELIM");
             }
             CASE 4://camera 4
             {
             fncAxisCam_QueueTPCmd("itoa(iUI_Indx),'^RMF-Camera_',itoa(n),' LG,%U',cTempUser,'%S',cTempPass,'%H',AXISCAM_IP_ADDRESS[n],
                                ':8008%A%F%R1%N0%V0',AXIS_QDELIM");
             fncAxisCam_QueueTPCmd("itoa(iUI_Indx),'^RMF-Camera_',itoa(n),',%U',cTempUser,'%S',cTempPass,'%H',AXISCAM_IP_ADDRESS[n],
                                ':8008%A%F%R1%N0%V0',AXIS_QDELIM");
             }

Maybe this will work for you too.

Edit:
I believe I created the resource in TPD4 with bogus params and then revised those params or lack there of in code.

the stream i use is
ip address: 192.168.......
path :Streaming/channels/1

note i had to lower the main stream resolution to 2 megapixel to get them picture to come up on a ndx-500i . i also had to turn on snappshots.

hope this helps someone out .

Do you have the HikVision cameras connected to the main network directly, or to their NVR? In case of the later, they are on their own subnet and not accessible from the main network where the AMX controller and TP's are normally.

bob .
yes my cameras are on my main network and not behind nvr .
