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?
In the current versions of UniFi Video and Ubiquiti cameras, there are three supported configurations: UniFi Video: all configuration, streaming and recording is done via the UniFi Video interface. RTSP: all configuration is done from the camera's web interface. Streaming and recording is done via a third party program that supports RTSP. How to watch the RTSP stream. To receive the RTSP stream and watch it there are several options. For all options you need to setup the RTSP network address as rtsp://192.168.0.109:8554/mjpeg/1 and replace the IP address with the one that your ESP32 uses. On a Windows PC you can use e.g. VLC and connect to the network.
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.
