Accessing analog cameras connected to a Q-See DVR with SecuritySpy

jish

Hello, I have 3 analog cameras plugged into a Q-See DVR. The DVR is on my network and I can access it using a web interface, and their iOS app. I can see all my cameras.

I searched and wasn't able to find any guidance on how to add them to SecuritySpy (but I've been successful with 3 LogiTech Alert PoE cameras). Can someone point me in the right direction or give me some guidance on how to add the Q-See connected cameras?

This is the model DVR: Q-See QTH163-2 (https://www.amazon.com/Q-See-QTH163-2-Channel-Security-1080p/dp/B01CEFLQHY)

THANK YOU!!

Hi, Q-See have a public document called Using RTSP on QC Series DVRs and NVRs, which shows RTSP URLs for your DVR. According to this document, the setup in SecuritySpy is as follows:

• Create a new network device
• Enter the DVR's IP address and username/password
• Set the Profile (device type) to Manual
• Select RTSP as the Format
• For the Request, enter cam/realmonitor?channel=X&subtype=00&authbasic=Y, where X is the channel number (1-32) and Y is the Base64-encoded string of username:password

For example, for the first channel, and "admin" as both the username and password, the Request would be:

cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=00&authbasic=YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=

Does this work?
