They use ordinary h264, the wonky encoding is the proprietary storage container format. For streaming you can just use bog standard RTSP.

- aivisol 6y agoInteresting. I am no way an expert in video encoding, but is there a way to get it streamed to the browser? I have a bunch of hikvisions but so far I am using it either through their Android app, or an ancient Firefox plugin.
- tk75x 6y agoIf it provides an RTSP stream, you should be able to just log into it via a browser, either using the ip directly or putting rtsp:// in front. I'm using Amcrest cameras at home, seems like a lot of models work similarly.
- cameron_b 6y agoI've got Hikvision cameras that I use with OrchidVMS I can pull out the camera RTSP stream with a direct URL like: rtsp://[cameraIP]/Streaming/Channels/101?transportmode=unicast&profile=Profile_1 which will open directly in VLC with a login to the camera I've used some cameras and streaming setups to pull in the video stream directly, Samsung ones did this quite well.
