EZVIZ cameras

[tmorse305]

Hi,

 

Has anyone tried connecting an EZVIZ camera to Mobilinc?  I've been looking for an outdoor POE camera that will work with Mobilinc and Echo Show and it's proven move difficult that I thought it would be.

 

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

 

Do you know if that camera offers an RTSP interface for 3rd party software? The RTSP path looks something like: rtsp://ip-address/streaming/1 or similar. If you have this, or can find it in the manual or online setup software, please post it here or to support@mobilinc.com and I'll be happy to get that added into MobiLinc for you.

Thanks Wes,

 

I'll contact EZVIZ to find out, I can't find a manual online.

Update:

EZVIZ does not support 3rd party software, they want you to use their app and cloud solution.

 

Back to square one, has anyone found a camera that meets these criteria?

1. Outdoor

2. POE

3. Works with Echo Show

4. Works with MobiLinc

i have an Amcrest camera that meets this criteria and I use Netcam Studio software which lets me send Http REST commands to my ISY when motion is detected. It works great.

Thanks db2ace2,

 

I actually purchased an Amcrest camera first.  Everything worked great except with Echo Show.  I contacted Amcrest support and they said that the camera did not work with Echo Show (yet).  Is it working for you?  When I tried Echo came back and said that the camera was not responding.

Sorry I missed the part about echo show. I use all the other features but I do not have the show. I would think the problem is with the show and not the camera since the camera works for all other apps ok.

Hi Wes,

 

It turns out that the EZVIZ camera does if fact support RTSP.  I guess it just depends on which person at Tech Support you ask.  The reply I received was this:

 

Thank you for contacting EZVIZ Tech Team. Regarding your request for more information, please follow the steps below to set the RTSP stream path

RTSP stream from VLC player

1. Connect to the local network
2. Open VLC media
3. Open network stream
4. input the device local IP address, device username and password in the format below

rtsp://admin:RUSXAP@192.168.3.106:554/H.264

Where RUSXAP - is the verification code of the camera

 

Is this the information you need to add EZVIZ to MobiLinc?

 

Thanks again,

Hi Tim,

 

Yes! I will get this added tomorrow and report back how to get the update.

Hi Tim,

 

Open MobiLinc and edit or create a new camera.

Select "Camera Type"

Tap "Refresh"

Verify Database version 283 or later is installed.

Select EZVIZ from the Camera Type list.

Enter in your camera's details into MobiLinc.

 

So from the above example:

Local IP: 192.168.3.106 (or your camera's IP address)

Port: Leave blank

RTSP Port: 554

username: admin

password: RUSXAP (Where RUSXAP - is the verification code of the camera)

 

The RTSP streaming setup page will use the /H.264 path to stream from the IP and port listed in settings.

I just ordered the camera, it should be here later in the week, I'll let you know how I make out.

Update:

Thanks again Wes,
