http - Accessing IP Camera stream in browser

Question

I am trying to access stream of ip camera in browser, I can access it via its dedicated mobile app but unable to access the ip in browser. I don't have in depth network knowledge. But I guess there must be a way to achieve this if there is a way to identify the protocols used by camera. I am using hdwificampro, any direction to proceed. Is there a checklist to follow to find this out?

Answer 1

What is the camera brand?

The first step is to discover the ip address and port of the camera. Usually, each camera manufacturer offers a software tool that is able to scan your network to retrieve the IP address of the camera.

For example, with a Uniview camera, you would use their EZTool, as described here: https://rtspplayer.com/?p=238

If the camera is ONVIF compatible, you could be able to discover the camera using ONVIF Device Manager: https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/

Finally, once you get the ipaddress, you only need to type it in your browser, using this format: http://ipaddress:port/
