Camera compatibility Supported
Any RTSP camera
with LookoutNVR.
Paste the camera's RTSP address. H.264 and H.265 record as they arrive, without re-encoding.
Before you add it
- The camera needs a username and password. Cameras with no sign-in at all are not supported.
- Find the RTSP path in the camera's manual. Many cameras also show it in their network settings.
- 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.

Where this comes from
Field-proven means it runs on one of our recorders at a real site today. Supported means it works through ONVIF or RTSP. Brand names belong to their owners.
