How to get substream parameters for new BI update Hikvision Dahua

How do I get sub stream parameters?



The main stream works with just a "/".. what do I put in the substream? This is true for 4 of my 5 camera setup.

My Dahua cameras are IPC-HFW1831E
And Hivision are: DS-2CD2T85FWD-I8

I used an Android app called ONVIFER to explore each of my cameras to find the URL's for the substreams. The app performs an extensive ONVIF query of a camera and lists all of it capabilities. It took a little poking around in the app to find which menu item showed the stream URL's. I have a mix of different camera brands and the stream URLs differ wildly between each one. Most required just a single digit change from the main URL whereas one camera used a different keyword in the URL to select the substream.

I found this on another site, maybe this will work:


1) Go to Camera Properties -> Video tab -> Network IP "Configure" button

2) Add a "Sub stream" path, usually this is an increment of the camera number.


For another camera model it was slightly different:

Main Stream:
/Streaming/Channels/101?transportmode=unicast&profile=Profile_1

Sub stream:
/Streaming/Channels/102?transportmode=unicast&profile=Profile_1
