What you need
Ensure your Uniview camera is online and accessible on your network.
- Uniview IP camera or NVR on your network
- Camera credentials (default: admin / 123456)
- A computer on the same LAN
- A PanoraCast account
Step 1: Find your camera's IP address
Use Uniview's EZTools or EZStation software to scan your network for Uniview devices. You can also check your router's DHCP client list.
Step 2: Copy your RTSP URL
Uniview uses a /media/video path format. Video channel starts at 1.
bash
# Main stream
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/media/video1
# Sub stream
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/media/video1/2
# NVR channel 3, main stream
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/media/video3Step 3: Add to PanoraCast
In your PanoraCast dashboard, click 'Add Camera', select 'Uniview', paste the RTSP URL, and test the connection.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Default password rejected — Some models require changing the default password at first login
- No video — Verify encoding is H.264 in Setup > Camera > Encode Settings
- RTSP port — Default is 554. Verify in Setup > Network > Port
