Uniview / UNV Setup
Uniview (UNV) cameras should work out of the box in most cases. However, depending on camera age and firmware version, the RTSP path may differ.
RTSP Paths
If your Uniview camera isn't connecting automatically, try one of the following paths:
| Path | Notes |
|---|---|
/media/video1 |
Most common |
/profile1 |
Alternative format |
/videoMain |
Older firmware |
/media/videoMain |
Legacy devices |
Configuring Custom Paths
Scroll to the Advanced Settings section and expand Custom Paths
Enter the RTSP path in both the Analytics Path and Recording Path fields
Try each path from the table above until the camera connects
Tip: Start with /media/video1 as this works with most modern Uniview cameras. If that doesn't work, try the other paths in order.
Troubleshooting
If none of the standard paths work:
- Check the camera's web interface for the correct RTSP URL format
- Ensure the camera firmware is up to date
- Verify the camera credentials are correct in TetherX
See Camera Troubleshooting for general troubleshooting steps.
