CamCheck — Test Any IP Camera RTSP Stream
Paste your camera’s RTSP URL below and StreamProbe will connect from our servers to verify reachability, detect the video codec, resolution, and frame rate — with no software to install. The probe runs in seconds and never records or stores your video.
How it works
- Enter your RTSP URL. The URL format is
rtsp://<ip>:554/<path>— check your camera manual or the brand guide below for the exact path. - StreamProbe probes from our servers. We open a TCP connection to your camera, read the stream headers (codec, resolution, fps), and close the connection. No video is stored.
- Results appear instantly. You’ll see whether the stream is reachable, the video codec (H.264/H.265/MJPEG), resolution, and frame rate.

Frequently asked questions
What NVR systems work with Hikvision cameras?

Does Hikvision have its own NVR?
Yes, Hikvision offers brand-native NVR systems that provide the deepest integration with Hikvision cameras, including smart motion detection, deep learning analytics, and unified management. Third-party ONVIF NVRs work for basic recording but may miss proprietary features.
