Introduction:
With the RTSP protocol, the user is able to view the cameras through the video player on the PC. In this article, we will show you how to set up the RTSP for the ANNKE DVR/NVR.
Steps:
1. Download the SADP Tool to find the device IP address on the PC. The device and the PC must be connected to the same router or switch.
Here is the download link of SADP Tool.
2. Download the VLC player on the PC. The user can download the VLC player on Google or the application store by themselves.
3. Get the RTSP address.
- RTSP address format
rtsp://IP:RTSPPort/Streaming/Channels/ID/?transportmode=unicast.sdp - Explanation
ID means mainstream or sub-stream and channel number. If the ID is 102, we will get
a sub-stream of the first channel. If the ID is 101, we will get mainstream. -
The device user name and password can be added to RTSP URL.
rtsp://admin:12345@IP:Port/Streaming/Channels/ID/?transportmode=unicast.sdp
The type of authorization supports BASIC and DIGEST.
- Example of Getting sub-stream from Channel 1
rtsp://172.28.1.52:554/Streaming/Channels/102/?transportmode=unicast.sdp
4. Test the RTSP address.
Once you finish setting up the RSTP address, please try it on the VLC player to make sure it’s working.
Start the VLC player and use the shortcut ‘Ctrl+N’ or navigate to Media-Open Network Stream.
Input your RTSP address in the box, click Play.

Hi,
I have a DT81DP with 8 cameras. So the ID will be 101, 201 ... 801 for main stream, and 102, 202 ... 802 for sub stream? My third party camera software can connect to them but only displays a grey screen. I have also tried ONVIF (enabled on DT81DP) but again display no video. Any reason why?
