Stream Hikvision NVR VLC

Here is how to stream the video feed from a Hikvsion NVR using VLC.

Create a text file and enter the following line replacing the username/pass/ip with yours.

Main stream:

rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.2.100/Streaming/Channels/101

or

rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.2.100/PSIA/Streaming/channels/101

Substream:

 
rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.2.100/Streaming/Channels/102

or

rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.2.100/PSIA/Streaming/channels/102

Note: In this example 192.168.2.100 is the IP address on the LAN port of the Hikvison NVR. the first 1 ine 101 is the camera number and the second 1 is the main stream, can use 2 for substream.

Save the text file as Camera1.asf or Camera1.m4v(asf or m4v is the extension of the file so your media player will recognize it and open it) now double-click the Camera1.asf or Camera1.m4v file or drag and drop it into VLC and it should start streaming immediately.

  1. Hi,
    Thanks for this. It manages to open the stream in VLC, but VLC asks for the logon and Password although I have addred it to the .asf
    Is there a way to tel VLC to read this information directly from the .asf file?
