in SecuritySpy

In my continuing cheap approach. I found another Chinese camera It seems to be primarily configured for video with PTZ , motion and downs detection. Naturally it is linked to its own ap and to its pay for use cloud. It ie a Dzees D3K. Naturally no information if provided by their support. as to format. Linking is provided to their ap through QR code. I have tinkered with manual configuration with al 4 formats with no success .. sort of as I expected.

I would love some guidance one the questions I should be asking the company. Image is great and prices is right there for I assume it is going to be impossible to set up


Thanks for taking time to read

    Requiring a special app that you set up via a QR code is a sign of a camera that is locked into its own closed system and probably won't work with SecuritySpy, unfortunately.

    Is there any indication that the camera supports the ONVIF open standard? See if you can enable this somewhere via the camera's settings pages or app. If so, the camera should be auto-discovered by SecuritySpy and will show up at Preferences > Cameras > Device Auto-Discovered Devices.

    Or, you could ask the manufacturer if the camera supports RTSP streaming, and if so, what is the RTSP URL. If they provide this information, please copy it here and I'll let you know how to set this up in SecuritySpy with a manual confirguration.

    Unfortunately there more detailed setup program is windoze based which I don't have any (with the rate apple is messing with Mac OS only a matter of time till I go back). You gave me the worts (RTSP Streaming) I need to have to try to talk to the Chinese support center


    Thanks again
