Applies to: SPE-410, SPE-1610, SRN-472S, SRN-473S, SRN-4000
While the SRN-1000 production has ended, new products such as the SPE-410 / SPE-1610 encoders or multi-sensor cameras can be supported for basic recording functionality. The following applies to other SRN NVRs, such as the SRN-472S, SRN-473S, SRN-873S, SRN-4000.
Limitations include: standard schedule recording only (no motion or analytics based recording), H.264/MJPEG CODECs only (no H.265 support).
To record video from the encoders, the RTSP method can be used. (Figure 1)
Figure 1
The example below shows how to implement each channel in the recorder setup.
rtsp://<DeviceIP>:<port>/<channel#>/profile<profile#>/media.smp
Port: The default RTSP port is 554. If the default port is used, you can omit the port from the RTSP URL.
Channel: This is the sensor number, starting with 0-3 (0 = Channel 1, 1 = Channel 2…).
Profile: Profile 2 is the default H.264 profile on most devices. You may need to change the profile as needed, depending on the camera and your requirements.
Note: Some systems may require you to embed the username and password in the RTSP URL,
as shown below. The SRN-1000 allows you to enter the credentials into the IP and
Password fields.

rtsp://192.168.1.100/2/profile2/media.smp
rtsp://192.168.1.100/3/profile2/media.smp
Important:
Please note, the channel number is off by one, starting at 0 for channel #1.
