Playback from Dahua NVR without a browser

[d5775927]

Nice trick for people who are too lazy to open a browser and login and search the timeline:

Use:
rtsp:/<user>:<password>@<nvr ip>:554/cam/playback?channel=1&starttime=2024_04_25_21_58_00
For example:
rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/cam/playback?channel=1&starttime=2024_04_25_21_58_00
To view channel 2:
rtsp:/admin:[email protected]:554/cam/playback?channel=2&starttime=2024_04_25_21_58_00

You can open that in vlc player and directly view a recording.

That’s easier than opening a browser?

You can wrap this in a script that asks you for camera name and a date (or just time defaulting to today's date).
Finding a 10 seconds interval using smartpss/browser, requires much more steps/clicks.
