Now launch the manycam client software and click the + button located in the middle of the manycam client screen Select IP CAMERAS ADD NEW. Select the ADD IP CAMERA option Type in a name for the camera and the cameras RTSP callout. RTSP URL: the live stream URL of your IP camera. Different types of cameras have different URL formats, so you will need to find the RTSP URL that is correct for your camera stream. The URL may have a username/password in it as well. Choose RTSP, enter the camera address and the RTSP streaming port. Select H264 as the image type. Apply the resolution of 704x480. Apply a frame rate of 15fps. Apply a compression of 30% compression.Note: The port in this example is 7210 because the IP has been resolved as a DNS name so that the camera could be accessed over. Real time streaming protocol or RTSP is essentially the pure video and audio feed coming off IP cameras, NVRs, or networked DVRs. If you've ever been frustrated with a camera that locks you into their service, then you know why RTSP matters! Perfect IP Camera Viewer is a free software to monitor IP cameras from your computer. For this, it supports RTSP streaming protocol as well as HTTP and ONVIF protocols. You first need to add a camera by setting up its configurations and then view RTSP stream. It lets you add multiple IP cameras and view respective RTSP streams.
ONVIF Device Manager is an open-source software application (currently available for Windows only), which scans your network for cameras, DVR's, and NVR's, trying to locatea stream address that can then be used for connecting your device to Angelcam.
Who should use this?
If you've already setup port-forwarding for your device, but Angelcam can't find a stream automatically and/or:
- Your device documentation doesn't mention a RTSP or MJPEG stream path
- Your camera supplier or manufacturer provides no support
- You can't find any documentation or information on Google
Finding a stream path
- Step 1: Be sure that you are on the same network as the device you're trying to discover (advanced users can also try to find a stream address for remotely accessible cameras as well, just use the 'Add' button and specify the public address and forwarded ONVIF port of the remote device)
- Step 2: Download and install ONVIF Device Manager (Windows only)
- Step 3: Click the 'Refresh' button to scan your network
- Step 4: Select 'Live Video' from the menu
- Step 5: Copy the stream address, shown under the live video, to your clipboard (be sure to replace your local IP address with the public one when connecting directly)
- Note: if your camera is password protected, be sure to enter your credentials in the upper left corner.
Connecting a camera to Angelcam
a) With AngelBox
- Step 1: Open AngelBox's Camera Connector, type in your AngelBox's ID, and let AngelBox detect your device
- Step 2: Once found, click, 'I want to use a different camera stream channel'
- Step 3: Paste the stream address from your clipboard and delete everything except the part after the port. For example if your camera stream has been discovered at 'rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.1.100:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1' use '/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1' only.
