Amcrest Forum

I'm trying to find the correct URL string for Many Cam to see the Amcrest IP2M-841W. I use ManyCam to sense IP cameras so they will interface for live streaming with Ustream or streaming YouTube. I have had success with Foscam IP camera' but haven't found the right Amcrest combination.
An example if a Foscam address that works is: http://IPADDRESS/mjpeg.cgi?user=[USERNA ... =[PASSWORD],
I would input my IP address, username and password.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
The command to get mjpeg video stream from Amcrest Ip camera is as follows.

http://<ip>/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?[channel=<channelNo>]&subtype=<typeNo>

Thanks for the response but what do I do with the channel and subtype
[channel=<channelNo>]&subtype=<typeNo>

I tried [channel=1]&subtype=0
Thanks

Hello,
You can either completely skip that part or put '1' for both channel and subtype.

Thanks it's working fine with MPEG. Is there a different string I can use to use H.264, H.264B, or H264H?

Hello,

You can pull the RTSP stream from the camera using a software like VLC. Please find the command below.

rtsp://usr:[email protected]:80/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

Replace the ip and port with your cams ip and rtsp port.

The MJPG url posted here works, but only if the camera is setup to deliver MJPG on the main stream. I have my cameras configured for H264 on the main stream and MJPG on the substream.

What are the URL parameters to pull MJPG from the substream instead of the main stream?

Hello bkhall ,

To get substeram you need to mention the sybtype as 1. The subtype 0 is for the main stream.

The mpeg stream address works for me with my IP3M-943 camera's, but asks for a username and password to see the stream. Is there a way to setup this up so it does not ask for authentication?

Hello ted_s,

In the below code include your username and password after http:// and it should work.

http://user:Pwd@ip:port/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?[channel=<channelno>]&subtype=1
