I've been frustrated by this for the past 4 / 5 Hours

Tried literally everything..

The long and short being is that I can't link my IP Camera to my DN41R NVR

Tried every solution I can find online, the IVMS Software doesn't like it, the web interface doesn't like it..

VLC Will open the RTSP Address just fine and play it

Everything it networked just fine, it pings, it connects to the web interface, etc, etc

I've tried changing video settings, etc as suggested here and elsewhere

All I'm getting from the NVR is:

998fcb


Everything else listed below:


998fcd


998fd0


998fda

Does the NVR have the 'Custom Protocol' choice that would allow you to add the camera as an RTSP stream?

Does the NVR have an 'ONVIF' choice and does the camera also support ONVIF?
If so - that should work OK - once you confirm the 'ONVIF port'.
Which might be 80 - some are - or it may be something quite different.

If the camera is ONVIF compliant, ONVIF Device Manager (sourceforge.net) will find it.
The ONVIF port is shown in the URL at the bottom of the Identification page, after you've given ODM some logon credentials, top left of the window.

ONVIF Does not display the camera only the DVR

As for the custom protocols.. This is the only option and no option to customise it?

It's unusual these days for even low-cost cameras not to support ONVIF.
I don't suppose it's disabled by default and there is an 'enable' option in the camera web GUI?

It looks like ANNKE have put some brain-damaged firmware on the OEM NVR. That's poor.
Normally, in the NVR web GUI under under Camera Management there is a button to configure the settings for the 'Custom protocols'.
It makes no sense to be able to select one (even with the Batch Configuration Tool) but not be able to define the settings for it.

Is it the Hikvision version of the Batch Configuration Tool that you are using? Tools - Download - Hikvision
This is to a Hikvision NVR running Hikvision firmware :

This is the result I get from the batch configuration tool, pretty much the same screen as the IVMS Software, is it possible to flash the NVR Firmware so I have that selection? That's the only thing I can think that'll resolve this

What resolution is that cam running at? (in Cam's 'audio/video' config screen)

That NVR supports up to only 1.3MP or 960p...
