We offer ONVIF for the users who want an alternative to our free cloud service.

Precondition:

1. ONVIF only works in the local network, i.e. the PC/smartphone and camera must be within the same network.

2. The camera must be online, i.e. the setup via the HiKam app is already complete.

3. Camera firmware must be higher than 13.0.0.61, go to HiKam App: My Camera -> Setting -> Update Device

From firmware 13.0.0.90 the camera also offers 720p HD via ONVIF interface. However, when HD is running over ONVIF, HD on HiKam App doesn’t work anymore (SD only).

Resolution 1280×720: rtsp://192.168.xxx.xxx:554/onvif1 

Resolution 320×180: rtsp://192.168.xxx.xxx:554/onvif2

We have verified the following software that can be used to access the camera. If you need support for other software, please let us know and we’ll be happy to test it for you.

1. PC: ONVIF Device Manager

After the installation start the program.  The program should be able to detect the camera automatically.

Unfortunately, pan/tilt does not work with this software.
