TetherX Camera Setup Guide v2, Tether your video surveillance, alarm panels, network infrastructure and other IP or Serial devices to the cloud. Monitor the health of your sites, cloud record cameras and integrate with third party services.

The steps required to set up Samsung Cameras / DVRs and NVRs

Setting Correct Profiles

Please ensure you have 2 profiles configured on your device:

1.The Event or Recording Profile – This will be used to record events. For optimal performance, this this to the higher resolution / frame-rate of the device or as desired if you have specific requirements.

2.The Live Profile – This will be use for live view and the analytics stream. For optimal performance, set this to 720p 15fps – set this as the default profile on NVRs/DVRs.

IP Cameras

Cameras are the easiest to set up and should work out of the box. If the cameras are not working for any reason, please try one of the following for the Analytics Path and Recording Path:

• Analytics_Path: /profile2/media.smp

• Recordings_Path: /profile1/media.smp

The above assumes profile2 is set to 720p with 15fps and profile1 is set to the maximum resolution / frame rate.

Please also ensure the RTSP port is correct (554 by default).

Multi-Sensor IP Cameras & Encoders

If your device is a multi-sensor camera or an encoder, please set the Analytics Path as follows:

• //profile2/media.smp

Sensor # range is from 0-3 (0 = Sensor 1, 1 = Sensor 2…)

For example for PNM-9081VQ, PNM-9080VQ, PNM-9322VQP, PNM-9002VQ, or PNM-7002VD:

• Camera 1: /0/profile2/media.smp

• Camera 2: /1/profile2/media.smp

• Camera 3: /2/profile2/media.smp

• Camera 4: /3/profile2/media.smp

NVR – Network Video Recorders

1.Set the correct RTSP port – The RTSP port for NVRs will be the last Device Port set on the unit. i.e. if device port is set to 554-558, 558 will be the port for RTSP.

2.Set the correct Analytics Path – Channel numbering starts at 0.

1.E.g. /LiveChannel/0/media.smp

3.Set the correct Recording Path – Channel numbering starts at 0.

1.E.g. /RecordChannel/0/media.smp

To get the full list of supported profiles, you can create a tunnel to the camera and visit the following URL (replacing {PORT} with the actual tunnel port):

http://timeline.is:{PORT}/stw-cgi/media.cgi?msubmenu=videoprofilepolicy&action=view

You will see something like the following:

Channel.0.NetworkProfile=2

Channel.0.LiveProfile=2

Channel.0.RecordProfile=2

Channel.0.LiveMode=Manual

Channel.1.NetworkProfile=2

Channel.1.LiveProfile=2

Channel.1.RecordProfile=2

Channel.1.LiveMode=Manual

Please ensure the Live and Record profiles are mapped to the desired resolution/frame-rate/codec.

DVR – Digital Video Recorders

DVR recorders setup is similar to NVR setup with the following differences:

1.Set the correct RTSP port – The RTSP port for DVRs will be the last Device Port set on the unit. i.e. if device port is set to 4520-4524, 4524 will be the port for RTSP.

2.Set the correct Analytics Path – numbering starts at 0.

1.E.g. /camera

Note: If you have any issues following this process or if you would prefer the TetherX support team set this up to you, please contact us on the live chat in the bottom right of TetherX.

TetherX Camera Setup Guide v2

Can I use TetherX alongside HikConnect?

Can I use Hik-Connect on my Hikvision cameras and recorders?

Yes.

Please make sure that stream encryption is switched off under Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings:

HikConnect stream encryption uses a proprietary mechanism which is not available to third-parties. Please note TetherX will encrypt the stream to the highest standards, for more information please see our security white-paper.

Note: If you are still getting a broken stream or no live view, please try updating the camera and/or recorder firmware to the latest. There are known issues that have been addressed by Hikvision.

Live View – Technical Implementation Details

How TetherX implements live view to be compatible with all manufacturers

Introduction

The quality, latency and smoothness of live view streaming is dictated by many factors:

1.The available streams from the camera.

2.The connection speed both on site and on the viewing device.

3.The performance of the viewing device.

4.The underlying streaming technology that is being used.

5.Other manufacturer specific trickery/tweaking that may or may not be desirable.

Some of these are self-explanatory but some are a matter of trade-offs and priorities. This document explains the constraints and the decisions taken by TetherX when it comes to live view streaming.

Available Streams from Cameras

Typically cameras will provide 2 video streams as well as the ability to request a single image. These limitations dictate what is and isn’t possible when it comes to both recording and streaming.

💡 Note: More expensive and speciality cameras will provide additional video streams and custom streams of crops/de-warps of the same image (e.g. 180 or 360 cameras).

The streams are usually accessed through RTSP and the images through HTTP. For example:

• Primary Stream: 6 megapixels, 6mbit, H.265, 25fps RTSP stream

• Secondary stream: D1, 1mbit, H.264, 10fps RTSP stream

• Snapshot URL: Full resolution, 1 image over HTTP (refreshed 1 time per second)

The above is just an example as this ranges wildly depending on the hardware and customer requirements.

Formats

• H.265 – This is arguably the best currently available video format for most video applications, including video surveillance. The resulting space consumption is around 50% of H.264 for equivalent video quality (though your results may vary depending on the quality of the H.265 encoder chip and settings in your camera and/or recorder).

Please note this format is not compatible with older devices and operating systems. At present (Q3 2023) support is limited to:

◦ Windows (version 10 1709 or newer) and only when HEVC video extensions from the Microsoft Store are installed for devices with hardware support

◦ Windows (version 8 or newer), macOS ( Big Sur 11.0 or newer), Android, Linux (Chrome 108.0.5354.0 or newer) and Chrome OS platforms with hardware support

• H.264 – This is the only video format widely compatible across all devices. Most notably, older Windows and Android devices that cannot play H.265 in some cases. Please refer to https://caniuse.com/hevc

• VP9 (and older) – This is Google’s attempt at an open source H.265 alternative, while a great format on paper, it is not embraced by the industry and therefore does not see wide hardware support. Because of this, it tends to use significantly more resources to both record and display and is unfortunately not recommended when dealing with many simultaneous streams.

• MPEG4 – This is a legacy video format and is not generally compatible on modern devices and will need to be transcoded, leading to additional hardware costs, you will not see it on more recent cameras / recorders.

• MJPEG – Usually 5 to 25x larger in size for the same number of frames. While prominent on older cameras and recorders, anything since around 2008 has switched to video formats.

Transcoding vs Proxying

TetherX supports both transcoding and proxying/packaging. The differences between the two are as follows:

Transcoding is a process of taking the stream from a camera, decoding it and then re-encoding it into a different format. This is the ideal method to hit a specific requirement of Internet bandwidth and viewing size, but it is in most cases cost prohibitive as you need power hungry and expensive hardware to achieve.

For context, a TetherBox Pico capable of recording 10 cameras will only be able to record 2 if transcoding (you can enable transcoding in TetherX by editing a camera and switching to the advanced tab).

Proxying & Packaging is what is used in most cases, where the original video stream is maintained but is packaged into different containers, for example .mp4 for video recording and .ts for local and high-def live streaming (see streaming technologies below).

This means that ultimately, you are at the mercy of the camera/recorder. If you need to open 16 cameras and each one is 1mbit, but your upload speed is only 10mbit, it will simply not work because the stream size cannot be adjusted without either:

1.Changing your camera settings (what budget equipment typically does) OR

2.Transcoding, which is very costly.

Video vs Images

TetherX use a combination of images and video to achieve different goals. It is important to understand the differences and advantages/disadvantages of each, which in turn dictate when either is used in TetherX.

The main difference between image and video compression is every image is self contained, where every video frame is part of a stream. While you may skip an image, skipping a frame in a video stream leads to parts of the image breaking / disappearing:

Systems that ignore broken/skipped data (e.g. streaming over UDP) will show a broken image while many systems will simply show a loading spinner while they wait for the next key frame (which is controlled by the key-frame interval set on the camera/recorder, typically set to 1 second, or the same number as fps, but sometimes much longer).

Because each image is self contained, it is typically 5 to 25x larger in bitrate vs video at 25 images per second. It may initially seem obvious that video should be used when accessing remotely, however there are certain important underlying trade-offs that make it a much tougher question which needs to be evaluated on a case by case basis, according to the following:

Advantages of Images

• Initial image loads 5-10x quicker than video (you need to load 1 frame, not 25 or potentially hundreds with a larger key-interval setting on the camera/recorder).

• Handles bandwidth fluctuations seamlessly (images can be skipped which is not possible with video).

• Latency is is lower (you load 1 frame, not 25 before showing the image, more suitable for PTZ / two way audio – see streaming technologies below).

• Compatible with all cameras and viewing devices.

• Low resource utilisation on both viewing and recording device, means you can view 100+ cameras simultaneously.

• Image transcoding/transizing is an efficient method to reduce bitrate when viewing more than 16 simultaneous cameras.

• The recording quality is not impacted when viewing live (some manufacturers reduce recording quality to accommodate live view).

Disadvantages of Images

• Much higher bandwidth (5x to 25x) to achieve the same fps in live view (trade-off of quality vs smoothness).
This leads to a much lower FPS in practice when bandwidth is kept the same.

Advantages of Video

• Much lower bandwidth (5x to 25x) for the same frame-rate/smoothness.
This usually leads to a much smoother video at the same bandwidth.

Disadvantages of Video

• Much higher initial loading times (5-10x longer).

• The usually higher latencies mak it more challenging for applications such as PTZ or two way audio (note: some cameras use low latency encoders to alleviate some of this but it is a hit and miss and leads to compatibility issues).

• Will simply not load if the connection cannot sustain all requires streams.

This usually restricts how many simultaneous cameras can be viewed as it is impossible to gracefully adapt the bitrate of each stream on the fly.

• Lower quality than images.

• Trickery is used by manufacturers to allow live view by reducing recording quality which leads to potentially losing critical video evidence.

Live View Streaming Technologies

TetherX uses all mainstream streaming technologies available and choses between them depending on the specific requirements and constraints:

• MJPEG – The technology is simple and what TetherX falls back to when other methods are not practical (e.g. resource constraints). The viewing device requests an image, once that image is downloaded, the previous image is replaced and the next image is requested. The image is always complete and in full quality and the speed is determined by the available resources.

If the device in question is limited by its performance or bandwidth, it loads the next image slower but still remains functional. This leads to a reliable live view that automatically adapts to the resources available and can sustain a virtually unlimited number of cameras viewed simultaneously. This however by design does not provide high frame-rate which viewers associate with smoothness. It also is not efficient when viewing a smaller number of cameras at higher frame-rates.

• HLS – This is the technology used by platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. This technology is pioneered by Apple and works by the browser requesting a playlist, which provides the next available video file. Typically, the stream is broken up into 1 or 2 second video files (this duration is set by the key interval setting on the camera or recorder and has a significant impact on latency).

Unless transcoding, these files simply re-package the same video stream coming from the camera and therefore, if the connection speed cannot sustain all the requested streams on screen, the video will take a long time to start and will stop after the initial second, showing a loading spinner until the next video file is fully downloaded. Effectively, sufficient bandwidth is crucial.

Even with sufficient bandwidth, the typical latency can be anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds which leads to a poor experience in applications such as PTZ or Two Way Audio.

• LHLS – This is an extension on the above technology that keeps the connection open instead of re-requesting the playlist each time, it can reduce latency by up to 50% but can be less reliable in some situations.

• RTSP/RTP/RTMP – These are more traditional streaming technologies that are not readily compatible with most devices and require special flash players, plugins or custom software. This can provide lower latencies than LHLS but requires additional configuration and software. TetherX uses this internally to get the streams from the cameras/recorders and convert them into more compatible streaming technologies.

• WebRTC – This (or similar) is the technology used for video conferencing like Zoom, Teams, Skype, etc. It typically requires transcoding the video to something like VP8/9 with special low latency encoder parameters. While yielding the best results, it is cost prohibitive in most cases and is limited to a small number of simultaneous streams (see transcoding above). This has been tested by TetherX but it is presently not used in production.

How TetherX Does It

TetherX supports most streaming technologies and switches between them depending on context.

When local streaming (the TetherBox is able to detect if you are on the same network), if we are viewing less than 10 cameras simultaneously TetherX switches to LHLS (see above) to show the primary video stream from each camera at full resolution/frame-rate (assuming your viewing device is capable of displaying this many streams). If this is not working well for you, you are presented with a toggle to switch off High-def streaming to fall back to loading images.

When full screening a camera (double tap/click a camera), we assume you want the higher quality and we switch to the full primary stream. If your connection is not able to sustain this stream, we automatically fall back to loading images.

When viewing multiple sites / cameras over Internet in record mode, we switch to image viewing but we transcode/transize the images depending on the size of each live view box on your screen. This ensures that you are able to view many simultaneous cameras, the latency is lower than video, it automatically adapts to the available bandwidth and it does not impact recording quality. This does however mean a lower fps.

When viewing multiple sites / cameras over Internet in monitor mode, we proxy the connection directly to the image provided by the camera. This leads to a further lowering of fps but ensures the TetherBox can monitor the health of and provide live view of 10x more cameras than in record mode.

How Hikvision iVMS Does it

Because of the constrains outlined above, in order to show smooth video in iVMS (and Dahua PSS) software, if the connection speeds both on site and viewing device cannot accommodate the streams, the software temporarily reconfigures the cameras to send a lower bitrate stream while keeping the resolution the same.

💡 Note: if you happen to kill the software at this point (or lose connection), this can cause the camera to permanently record in lower quality.

Because many cameras or recorders only support a single stream at above D1 resolution, this means that not only is the live view quality reduced, but also the video being recoded which can lead to losing critical video evidence.

In our testing, limiting the connection to 5mbit 200ms upload and streaming just 4 cameras in HD resulted in blocky and usable footage being recorded on the NVR. It also took over 10 seconds to get an initial image, however the motion was smooth (25fps) once loaded.

In comparison when using images (outside of the iVMS/PSS software), the images loaded almost immediately, the image quality was significantly higher, but the frame-rate was poor (3-4fps) – still sufficient for making decisions in a control room setting, but understandably disappointing in smoothness by comparison. (Note: higher fps can still be achieved by full screening a single camera on demand).

When viewing a smaller number of cameras from the same manufacturer on a single PC or phone, it looks impressive to have smooth 25fps video on iVMS/PSS/others. However, when dealing with 100+ or even 32 cameras, from different manufacturers, different firmware versions, with multiple users, across multiple sites, with differing and fluctuating bandwidths, you begin to appreciate the trade-offs and advantages/disadvantages of each approach.

💡 Note: This approach of custom code to adjust Hikvision camera settings to achieve smoother live view is only suitable if you do not care about recording quality and you are optimising for a single manufacturer with compatible models/firmware.

TetherX is an open platform with a focus on convention over configuration, we prioritise the integrity of recorded footage above live view and we implement approaches that work across all recorders/cameras as well as viewing devices.

Uniview / UNV Camera Setup Guide (for use with TetherX)

Using TetherX with Uniview / UNV Cameras

Summary

Uniview or UNV cameras should work out of the box in most cases. However please note depending on the age of the camera and firmware versions, the RTSP path may be different.

Please try the following paths:

• /media/video1

• /profile1

• /videoMain

• /media/videoMain

You can set this in the Analytics Path or Recording Path by editing your camera in TetherX:

1.Tap on Admin -> Cameras

2.Tap on the edit icon on the Uniview camera:

3. Open the Advanced tab and enter the required Analytics Path and Recording Path. Please try all the paths given as examples above.

Camera Setup Checklist

Adding IP cameras to TetherX Please note your camera may have a different interface and options may be located in a different part of the interface. Please refer to the camera manual if you are not able to find the relevant option.

Network

Set a Static IP

Set camera to unused IP on 192.168.88.x network
set DNS/Gateway to 192.168.88.100

Important: Although it’s possible to configure your camera with DHCP, and TetherBox is capable of detecting any IP changes, we strongly advise against this practice for security reasons. This setting can potentially allow the camera to connect directly to the internet, raising a range of security issues. These include unauthorised access through back doors, or the risk of security holes in the camera’s firmware if it’s not updated regularly.

Video & Audio

Recording Stream (primary)

• For 4K: H.264 4K 25FPS VBR – Quality: Medium – Type: Variable/VBR – Bitrate: 4096kbit – Key Internal: 50, No Watermark

• For 1080P: H.264 1080P 25FPS VBR – Quality: Medium – Type: Variable/VBR – Bitrate: 2048kbit – Key Internal: 50, No Watermark

Analytics Stream (secondary)

• Recommended: H.264 720P – 8FPS – Type: Variable/VBR – Quality: Medium – Bitrate: 1024kbit – Key Interval: 16 (double the frame rate).

• The analytics stream is used to detect the objects vs background, please ensure this is 720P or below at 10FPS or lower.

Conditions

• Anti Flicker: 50hz (in the UK, adjust for your desired locale)

• BLC: WDR – Middle

Audio (optional)

• Sampling Rate 16K

• Enable Main/Sub Stream

• Encode Mode: G.711A

Date & Time

One option is to disable time from being displayed in the camera at all. You generally do this under OSD settings. If you do wish time to be displayed in the image, you need to set the following:

•Usually under Basic/System -> General -> Date & Time

•NTP Server: Set to TetherBox IP address (usually 192.168.88.100)

•DST: Set appropriate settings for your Timezone. e.g. British Summer Time begins at 01:00 GMT on the last Sunday of March and ends at 01:00 GMT (02:00 BST) on the last Sunday of October

How to Reset H.264 DVR NVR (forgotpassword)

M.Salih ASLAN — Wed, 05 May 2021 08:13:56 +0000

Did you lose your H.264 DVR password? Or did you forget the password of your H.264 Network DVR? If you’ve already landed on this page, it means retrieving the password is necessary for you. Well, you’re at the right place, my old friend.

In this guide, we will show how to reset the password for generic H.264 DVRs, H.264 Network DVRs, or even NVRs. There are a few methods for resetting an H.264 DVR, follow them one by one until you get your problem solved. If not, drop a comment and we’ll try to help you out.

How to Reset Password for H.264 DVR

First of all, let’s clarify what H.264 Network DVRs are. These H.264 DVRs are a generic type of video recorders manufactured by thousands of manufacturers all over the world and are marketed in many brand names (usually when the DVR starts up it will show up there the H.264 logo).

Since there are thousands of DVR brands on the market and the way to reset the password can vary from one model to another.

The first step of doing a password reset on an H.264 DVR is to consult the equipment’s manual or to contact the DVR’s a dealer/reseller, most of the resellers (TVT, Dahua, Lorex, Swan, FLIR, Samsung, Panasonic, Axis, Uniview, Foscam, Zmodo) support their products.

However, sometimes you have an H.264 DVR with an unknown brand and there’s no manual available or no technical support team. If you have lost the password for your non-branded / generic H.264 DVR, you could try the password reset methods shown in this guide.

Below are listed the techniques and the procedures we will deploy to reset the password for H.264 DVR. As you can see, there are four basic password procedures that work on most H.264 DVRs.

Try to use the DVR factory default password
Use H.264 DVR master password generator
Remove the battery to reset the password
Use a jumper to reset the passwords
Contact the manufacturer

1. Try to use DVR factory default password

Trying to use the DVR’s default password is the first thing for an H.264 DVR reset password recovery procedure. It happens a lot that the original DVR’s password has never been changed. Check the DVR manufacturer’s manual or website for the factory/default password.

Take a look at the table below with the DVR default password for different manufacturers. Perhaps your DVR is listed there (the empty space on the password means you need to leave the password box empty). Also, you can find more default passwords on this link.

2. H.264 DVR Master Password Generator

Many CCTV manufacturers provide master password generators to allow administrators access to their CCTV products. Usually, they use the current date of the security system in order to generate a super password. Others may use the serial number of the equipment.

A lot of the recorders on the market are generic DVRs manufactured in China and in many cases re-branded by third-party companies. Y

You can tell by the user interface which is exactly the same across many brands such as HD iDVR, Everfocus, Everest, Sansco, Luxvision 5716, 6008T-EL, HA-1648, CP-Plus, Citrox, BB-4CH, Yoko, TVT, Super Live Pro DVRs, Kare, XVIM, and other generic brands simply named “H.264 network”, “H.264 DVR”, etc.

If your DVR has a login screen similar to the one shown below, then most likely it’s an H.264 generic DVR. Keep in mind that the user’s interface color scheme may have been further modified by the re-branding company.

You need to find out what’s the date on your security system DVR. Run the machine and simply check the timestamp on the screen. The date is used by the password generators to create a unique super password. So, take a look at the monitor and note the timestamp (as shown below).

Note: DVR master password generators will work only with specific DVR models.

HiSilicon DVR password generator

If your DVR runs on a chip manufactured by Hisilicon, then you can check the Hisilicon password generator to get a working password for your recorder. This generator works with these models: Hi3511, Hi3512, Hi3515, Hi3520, Hi3531, Hi3532, Hi3521, Hi3520A, Hi3535, Hi3520D, Hi3530A, Hi3535A.

On the internet, you can find 3 versions of the Hisilicon H.264 DVR password generator that work with the models mentioned above. Try all of them one by one until you’re able to reset the password. Below are the links to download the DVR password generators.

H.264 DVR password generator

In many cases, the DVR has an unknown brand. This is a common thing since many Chinese manufacturers sell their DVRs or cameras to third-party companies which they resell under local not-so-known brands or simply as H.264 DVR. In itself, H.264 is not really a brand but just the name of the compression algorithm. You can download the generic H.264 password generator at this link.

How to use the H.264 DVR password generator

The image below shows an example of using the H.264 password generator. You have to enter the date shown up on your DVR’s timestamp.

Excel DVR password generator

This Excel spreadsheet has a built-in formula that can be used to generate super passwords for the H.264 DVRs. It works the same way as the previous methods, you need to enter the date and the tool will generate a master password. Click here to download the Excel H.264 DVR password generator.

3. Remove the battery to reset the DVR

A few H.264 DVRs can be reset by another technique: removing the battery from the motherboard. By doing that, the clock of the system will be reset and the DVR will go back to factory defaults and you can log in by using the default username and password.

How long do you need to have the battery removed? It depends on the DVR’s model number. Usually, it takes 10 minutes for the card to be discharged. So, keep the battery out until the DVR’s internal clock has gone to default. Remove the battery from the DVR as illustrated below.

When the clock runs out of the battery, the timestamp on the recorder goes to 01/010/2000 and you either can try the default password or use the DVR password generator to create a new password based on this date.

Most likely the default username will be admin and password: empty, 12345, or 123456. For old Dahua DVRs, the password can be “000000”.

4. DVR reset using a jumper

In order to perform this kind of reset, you need to open up the cover of your DVR and find the reset pins on the motherboard. The H.264 DVRs that have these pins are for example old Dahua DVRs, old TVT DVRs, Swann DVR models, etc.

An example is shown below can be reset by closing the two contacts (pins) for 3 minutes. Once you close the circuit (via the jumper), the H.264 DVR will automatically reboot and come back online without any password or just using the default one. Try to log in.

5. Contact the manufacturer

If you tried all the methods explained above but you still can’t reset the password, then as the last option you should contact the manufacturer or seller and ask for technical support. First, locate the model of the unit, google it and see who is the original seller or manufacturer.

Then, contact them via email or phone and provide the model number and serial code. Usually, they help their customers and you may get your problems solved. If you don’t have any receipt, claim that the system was passed to you by the previous owner. They may ask you for an ID which you should provide.

Basic Setup & Adding Cameras Amcrest

M.Salih ASLAN — Sun, 02 May 2021 11:27:31 +0000

Basic Setup & Adding Cameras (NVR)

There are 2 types of NVR:

PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Non-PoE (this model has no Ethernet ports on the back panel)

Note: If needed, a PoE camera can be setup on a Non-PoE NVR. Please note, since the Non-PoE NVR will not have PoE ports available, the PoE camera will have to be set up on the same network segment as the NVR using a PoE switch or injector. For more information on how to set up a PoE camera, click here.

Power over Ethernet models is used when cameras, that also have the PoE specification, need to be powered by being directly plugged into the NVR’s PoE ports and do not require a separate power adapter to work.

A non-PoE model has no ports for cameras to connect to on the back panel but can add cameras with the built-in scan function that finds cameras connected to the same network. A PoE model can also use this scan feature, but additionally has PoE ports to power its cameras. The scan feature allows for compatible IP cameras to be added from the network whether they are PoE or WiFi.

For the purposes of this guide, the setup procedure will be divided between both the PoE and non-PoE NVR types. Each of these sections will have both a hardware setup and software setup portion.

For more information about what is included with your NVR, click here

PoE NVR

Hardware Setup

Connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the back of your NVR. It will go into the Ethernet port in between the HDMI port and the PoE ports. Make sure the NVR is powered on.
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the PoE ports on your NVR to your camera. This will confirm that it is powered on.
Connect a VGA or HDMI cable from the back panel of your NVR to a monitor or TV. Make sure that the monitor or TV is set to the correct input (e.g. VGA, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.)
Connect the included mouse to a USB port on the front or back of your NVR.

Note: The network LEDs will start to blink on the back of the NVR when you properly connect the Ethernet cable from there to the router. Any PoE ports on the NVR do not have these LEDs. The same applies to the network LEDs that will begin to blink on the back of most cameras once they’re connected to an NVR’s PoE port.

Software Setup

1. Please make sure NVR is turned on and then log into your NVR with your NVR’s login credentials.

2. Access the NVR’s main menu and go to, Camera in the Management section. In this menu click on the device Search option to search for your device on the network.

3. Click the Device Search button, and you can view the searched IP addresses at the top pane of the interface. Double click an IP address or check one IP address and then click the Add button to add the current device to the bottom pane of the interface. The system supports batch adding.

4. Click the Manual Add button to add a device directly. Here you can set TCP/UPD/auto connection mode. The default setup is TCP.

Note: The manual add function is for Foscam, Dahua, Panasonic, Sony, Dynacolor, Samsung, AXIS, Arecont, ONVIF, and Custom. When the type is custom, you can input the URL address, user name, and password to connect to the network camera without selecting the network camera manufacturer. Please contact your network camera manufacturer for the URL address.

Non-PoE NVR

Hardware Setup

Connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the back of your NVR. It will go into the Ethernet port in between the HDMI port and the PoE ports. Make sure the NVR is powered on.
Connect a camera to your switch or another router port on the same network as the NVR and make sure it is powered on. The camera must be on the same network for the NVR to connect to it.
Connect a VGA or HDMI cable from the back panel of your NVR to a monitor or TV. Make sure that the monitor or TV is set to the correct input (e.g. VGA, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.)
Connect the included mouse to a USB port on the front or back of your NVR.

Software Setup

1. Please make sure NVR is turned on and then log into your NVR with your NVR’s login credentials.

2. Access the NVR’s main menu and go to, Setting->Camera. In this menu click on the Device Search option to search for your device on the network.

4. Click the Manual Add button to add a device directly. Here you can set TCP/UPD/auto connection mode. The default setup is TCP.

How to reset H.264 Network DVR

M.Salih ASLAN — Sun, 02 May 2021 00:10:05 +0000

Have you lost the H.264 DVR’s password and don’t know how to recover it?

Some generic DVRs usually don’t even come with instructions on how to reset their passwords, but don’t worry, in this article you will learn how to reset H.264 network DVRs. So, keep reading..

I will talk about some methods for h.264 network reset that are used with most H.264 DVRs, however there are thousands of DVRs brands on the market and the way to reset the password can vary from one model to another.

My first recommendation

The first recommendation for a h.264 network reset is to read the equipment’s manual or to contact the DVR’s dealer, especially if you have a well-known brand DVR such as Samsung, Bosch, Panasonic, etc.

However sometimes you have a DVR with an unknown brand and there’s no manual available and no technical support number available.

Well-known brand such as Samsung, Bosch and Pelco have technical support team

If you are unlucky and lost the password for a generic H 264 DVR, I will list some ways to get around the problem, check which one may work for you.

Here are the ways you can recover from a lost password.

1. Use the DVR factory default password
2. Use a DVR password generator
3. Update the firmware and reset the DVR
4. Reset the DVR by removing the battery
5. DVR physical reset with jumpers
6. Delete the password file by using telnet

1. Use the DVR factory default password

It seems obvious, but trying to use the DVR default password must be the first thing for a h.264 network reset password recovery attempt, since in many cases the original DVR’s password has never been changed.

Check the DVR manufacturer’s manual or a password list for specific DVR models, the most common brands are Swann, Voyager and Dahua.

See the table below with the DVR default password for different manufacturers. Perhaps your DVR is here…

2. DVR password generator

There are software that can generate password for some DVRs to allow administrator access, you just need to enter the current date that appears on your DVR and click OK to get the new password.

Several companies buy unbranded Chinese DVRs and put their own brand, so when you turn the equipment on you can see that the DVR’s menu is similar to the ones used by generic DVRs because they use the same chip.

DVRs that are known to accept this type of reset are Luxvision 5716, 6008T-EL, HA-1648, CP-Plus, Citrox, BB-4CH, Sansco, Kare and other generic brands such as “H.264 network, H.264 DVR” , etc.

If your DVR has a login screen like the one in the picture, it probably uses the chip that works with the DVR password generator.

There is no need to connect the DVR to the computer, just run the software on your computer, look at the DVR screen to see the date and time and use it in the password generator software.

Keep in mind that DVR password generators will work only with specific chip models, obviously not suitable for all models in the market.

HiSilicon DVR password generator

If your DVR has the internal chip manufactured by Hisilicon, there is a great chance that the DVR password generator will work, depending on the model and year it was manufactured. See the chart below:

Inside your DVR there are chips responsible for certain functions. See below a table that shows some DVR models that use those chips.

There are 3 versions of the DVR password generator that work with this chip, you can try each of them to reset your DVR.

If your DVR has one of these chips, your problem is solved. Just click the links below to download the DVR password generators.

How to use the HiSilicon DVR password generator

The image below shows an example of how to use this software, type the year month and day (YYYYMMDD) that you see on your DVR.

Example. For 07/26/2017 Type: 20170726

Below is an example of the password generated by the software that should be typed into the DVR, it is unique and valid only for that day.

IMPORTANT: This type of password generator software works with DVR models that use an internal chip manufactured by Hisilicon

Dahua DVR password generator

If your DVR is Dahua or model based on that manufacturer, the Dahua password generator may work for you. Just download and test it.

How to use the Dahua DVR password generator

The images below show an example of using the Dahua password generator, type the year month and day (YYYYMMDD) you see on the DVR.

After entering the DVR date, click on “Create PW” and you will see the password created in the “PASSWORD” window. Test this it on your device.

Remember that over the years the chips that are used by DVRs can change and there is no guarantee that it works for all cases.

If you tried this method but it didn’t work, You can find extra information in the article: How to reset Dahua DVR admin password.

H.264 DVR password generator

There are cases where the DVR has an unknown brand, this happens a lot with Chinese models that are manufactured without a brand and sold to third parties that use a name like H.264 DVR for example.

Keep in mind that H.264 is not really a brand but just the name of the a compression algorithm. Read more on the article: How CCTV codec work.

How to use the H.264 DVR password generator

The images below show an example of using the H.264 password generator, choose the date that you see on your DVR.

Important: The fact that your DVR is named as H.264 DVR or something similar does not guarantee that the software will work, as explained above, this is a generic name given by the distributor who purchased an unbranded Chinese DVR to resell to the customers.

Either way, you can try to use the H 264 password generator and see if it works for the DVR model you own.

Excel DVR password generator

There is also an Excel spreadsheet that can generate passwords for DVRs, it works the same way, just put the current date and look at the result in the yellow cell, it works only for dates after the year 2000.

Click the image to enlarge

Fill in the date in the green cells and hit enter to obtain the password

3. DVR reset by firmware upgrade

DVRs are equipment that have an internal operating system and that can be protected by password, This operating system is called Linux.

The manufacturer provides firmware so that customers can update the equipment for better security and new features, in most cases these updates do not delete the existing password nor reset the DVR, however in specific rare cases the firmware update can reset to the factory default.

If the manufacturer has this option available, you can download a file from a website and put it on a pen drive that should be connected to the DVR, after restart the equipment it will read the contents of the pen drive, update the firmware and reset the password to factory default.

I’m describing this alternative here because it does exist, but I have to say that it’s really rare to find a DVR that works that way. You also need to ask the manufacturer for the special firmware or contact technical support.

4. DVR reset by removing the battery

Some DVR models allow you to reset the clock to factory default by removing the battery for a few minutes. This procedure works for some old Dahua DVR models and Z-mode DVR.

Battery removal time may vary, some technicians report that it is sometimes necessary to wait up to 6 minutes for the card to fully discharge and reset the DVR’s clock.

Remove the battery from the DVR shown in the image below:

What happens is that the DVR runs out of battery for a while and goes back to the factory default date, such as 1/1/2000 for example, so you can use the DVR password generator to create a new passwords based on this date.

Make sure the clock has returned to the old date before attempting to use the password.

After resetting the DVR just enter the original password that also varies for each model, for old Dahua DVRs the password can be “000000“

5. DVR reset using a jumper

For this type of reset it is necessary to open the equipment and physically close the contacts of two specific pins. That work for some Swann DVR models that have some jumpers for DVR reset.

In other cases such as on AVTech DVRs, it’s possible to reset the DVR to factory default by closing the contact of the battery.

See below an example of DVR reset by using jumpers

DVRs with removable battery

Some models allow this reset by removing the battery and closing the contacts for about 2 minutes. See the picture below:

This method works with some old Swann DVR models, and the factory default password after the reset is 123456.

DVRs with fixed battery

This procedure works on some DVRs with fixed yellow battery and the factory default password may vary between models. (see previous table)

This type of battery is fixed to the board. Use tweezers with the tip on the top of the battery holder and the other end on the bottom, close the contact for about 1 to 2 minutes to reset the DVR.

The idea is to execute the procedure so the date goes back to 01/01/2000 so you try to enter the passwords according to the table you saw before

IMPORTANT: I am not responsible for damages that may occur during the DVR reset process, this procedure is at your own risk.

AVTECH DVRs reset

Old models of AVTECH DVRs can be reseted by closing specific pins of the equipment board.

When the DVR Off, follow these steps:

1. With a tweezers close the contact between the pins
2. Turn on the DVR and wait until you hear a beep.
3. Remove the tweezers while the DVR is still on
4. Wait until the DVR restarts
5. Use the admin/username and password to login

The pins that are to be closed vary from one model to another, but usually have the TP nomenclature followed by a number, for example TP2-TP3 or TP4-TP5 as shown in the images below:

DVR AVTECH AV792D-D

AVTECH AVC-704H Jumper

AVTECH AVC-706H Jumper

After the reset use the factory default user and password: admin/admin

If you have another model from AVTECH, look for these pins that in most cases are TP2 – TP3 or TP4 – T5, the reset procedure is simple and fast, just follow the steps that have been described.

Swann DVRs reset

Some Swann DVRs models have a physical jumper to reset the password, it is clearly marked on the board (PASS-CLR)

Follow the steps below to reset the DVR

1. Close the jumpers with tweezers
2. Turn on the power and wait for the DVR initialization
3. The DVR starts and shows a login screen
4. Use the admin/admin username and password to login

If you are looking for information on how to factory reset Swann DVR 4500 and similar models such as the 4500,4900,805o and 8075 read the article: Swann DVR password reset

6. DVR reset using telnet

As I mentioned before, a DVR has a Linux operating system, and on some models there is a way to access this system and delete the file that represents the account and contains the access password.

This process works with DVRs that have a chip manufactured by a Chinese company that accepts a Telnet connection with a standard XC3511 password. Some models known to have this chip are the H264 DVRs:

If your DVR has the login screen like this below, it indicates that it uses this type of chip that accepts the connection via telnet, no matter if the brand is, the internal chip is from the same manufacturer.

Below is another example of a login screen of a DVR that has this type of chip. You can see the word “NetSurveillance” on the left side of the menu.

To reset the password, you must connect your computer to the same network as the DVR and start the procedure. You can connect directly from the DVR to your computer or use a router.

Option 1: Direct from DVR to computer with network cable (UTP)

Option 2: Connecting the DVR to the computer through the router

Make sure the physical connection is OK and devices are using IPs of the same network, as in this example where their IP are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, it is now necessary to use a telnet software to send commands from the computer to the DVR.

On Windows just press the Windows key + R on the keyboard to initiate the run windows and type: “CMD”. See the picture below for details:

Since this command window will be able to communicate with the DVR, it will respond by asking for username and password and then after entering this information, you will have access to the operating system and will be able to view the files in the directories and folders and also remove them.

To start the process type “telnet ” as shown in the image example below:

After the connection, a user and password is requested, the screen shown below will appear with the information of LocalHost login: and Password

For localHost login type: root

For Password type: xc3511

You should see a screen as shown in the image below, which shows the version of the operating system (BusyBox V1.1.2) and a welcome message (Welcome to Tech Monitor)

At that point you already have access to the Linux operating system, and you can enter commands to read directories (folders), enter those directories, and delete files.

The commands are:

ls: List the directory

cd: Get into the directory

rm: Remove file

Follow the sequence of commands below (without the quotation marks)
Enter the “ls” command to read the contents of the directory (folder)

Note that there are several directories (folders) in blue
In the next step we will enter the mnt directory

Type “cd mnt” to get into the mnt directory

Type “ls” to read the content of the directory

Note that there are a lot of directories including the mnt

Type “cd mtd” to enter the directory mtd

Type “ls” to get into the directory

Note that there are a lot of directories including the mtd

You are going to remove the Account file

Type “rm Account1” to remove the file

The system will remove the file without asking for confirmation

Final consideration

Here are some ways to try to solve the lost password problem, if any of the methods worked for you please leave your comment below to help others.

If you have another experience that solved the problem, also leave your comment to share the knowledge with others,

If you still have problems and can not reset the password of your DVR try contacting who sold the equipment or leave your comments here, sometimes someone has already experienced the same problem and can help solve.

It is easier to help if you provide more accurate DVR information.

Saying things like “I lost the password of my H.264 DVR” is not useful since H.264 is actually the name of a video algorithm (CODEC) created years ago

“H.264 DVR” may be the name of thousands of DVRs that exist in the low-cost market and they may be using totally different internal chips, and therefore have different procedures for resetting the password.

Look for tags in the DVR that say something else about the model, or check to see if there is any information on the screen when it starts.

Open the DVR, you may also find something that is relevant information, or perhaps you can see that the login screen is the same one that is used by another brand, this may indicate that they have an internal chip from the same manufacturer. The more information, the better.

IP camera default password list (2021)

M.Salih ASLAN — Sun, 02 May 2021 00:02:26 +0000

Are you looking for the Hikvision default password or for any other IP camera?

Sometimes you have an IP camera just in front of you but have no idea how to get access to it just because you lost the camera default password.

Believe me, I’ve been there and I know exactly how frustrating it is to see the message “invalid password” on the screen when trying to login into the camera.

That’s why I created this IP camera default password list, so people can use it.

Due to security issues in the past, most of the new IP cameras don’t have a default password and you have to create one during the installation. This password list is for old IP camera models or cameras which still have old firmware.

The Hikvision default password usually is the most wanted one but it only works for old models since the new ones force you to create a password during the setup.

Anyway, just trying using it…. Good luck.
