- camera.local
- rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.100/stream

## Camera Configuration

Network Address
Network Address

The IP address, hostname, or full RTSP URL of your camera. This is the network location where the camera can be reached.

Examples:
`192.168.1.100` `camera.local` `rtsp://admin:pass@192.168.1.100`

Find it in your camera's network settings or router's device list (DHCP leases).

Camera Model (optional)
Camera Model

The manufacturer and model of your IP camera. This helps the system use optimized stream paths for your specific camera brand.

Examples:
`Hikvision: DS-2CD2142FWD` `Dahua: IPC-HDW4433C` `Amcrest: IP4M-1041` `Reolink: RLC-410`

Find it on the camera label, in the camera's web interface (Device Info), or in your purchase documentation. Leave empty for auto-detection.

Username
Username

The authentication username for accessing your camera's RTSP stream. This is required for most IP cameras to access video feeds.

Common defaults:
`admin` `root` `user`

Find it in your camera setup documentation or the camera's web interface under User Management. Change default credentials for security.

Password
Password

The authentication password for your camera's RTSP stream. This credential is used together with the username to access the video feed.

For security reasons, always use a strong, unique password and avoid default passwords like "12345" or "password".

Find it in your camera's documentation, setup guide, or change it via the camera's web interface under Security/User Management settings.

Channel
Channel Number

The channel number identifies which specific camera or video input to access on the device.

For standalone IP cameras: Always use 0 (default). Single cameras don't use channel numbers.

For NVR/DVR systems ONLY: Each connected camera has its own channel number. Channel numbering typically starts from 0.

NVR/DVR channel values:
`0 - First camera on NVR/DVR` `1 - Second camera on NVR/DVR` `2-15 - Additional cameras (for 4, 8, 16-channel NVRs)`

Check your NVR's camera list in the device web interface to see the correct channel assignment for each camera.

Advanced
Resolution (optional)
Resolution Filter

Optionally filter discovered streams by specific resolution. Leave empty to find all available resolutions. Use this to target specific stream qualities.

Common resolutions:
`1920 × 1080 - Full HD (main stream)` `1280 × 720 - HD (sub stream)` `640 × 480 - VGA (low quality)` `3840 × 2160 - 4K Ultra HD`

Tip: Leave empty for initial discovery, then use specific values to find particular stream types (main vs sub streams).

×
Max Streams
Maximum Streams

The maximum number of stream URLs to test during discovery. Higher values increase scan time but may find more stream variants. Lower values speed up discovery.

Recommended values:
`5 - Quick scan (faster)` `10 - Balanced (default)` `20-50 - Thorough scan (slower)`

Purpose: Controls how many different RTSP URL patterns are tested. Most cameras have 2-5 valid streams (main, sub, mobile, etc.).
