Avigilon cameras
with LookoutNVR.

Stream addresses

Lookout reads these from the camera itself over ONVIF. Type one in only when ONVIF is off. Put the camera's user name, password and address in place of user, password and camera-address.

Main stream	rtsp://user:password@camera-address/defaultPrimary?streamType=u
Second stream	rtsp://user:password@camera-address/defaultSecondary?streamType=u
RTSP port	554
ONVIF	On
DVR and NVR channels	Multi-sensor: defaultPrimary-<n>

H4, H5 and H6 cameras. Copy the address from the camera's web page if it differs. Some 8 MP models allow only one RTSP stream at a time. Avigilon Alta cloud cameras need ONVIF mode switched on first.

Before you add it

• Switch on ONVIF in the camera's web page and make a user for Lookout.
• Switch on RTSP or ONVIF in the camera's settings if it ships with them off, and make a user for Lookout.
• Set the second stream to about 640 pixels wide in H.264. Lookout records the main stream and watches the second one.
• Give the camera a fixed address and turn on NTP, so its clock is right.

The camera setup guide has the rest.
