Hikvision Camera RTSP URL Guide & Tester

Test any Hikvision IP camera stream instantly. Hikvision cameras use RTSP for live streaming — paste your URL below to verify reachability, detect codec, and check resolution without installing any software.

Secure your camera admin login

IP cameras ship with factory default credentials for initial setup only. Leaving default credentials active on any network-connected device is a serious security risk — attackers actively scan for and exploit cameras with unchanged defaults.

  1. Log in to the camera web interface using the initial setup credentials (check the sticker on the camera body or the quick-start guide).
  2. Navigate to Configuration → User Management (menu names vary by firmware version).
  3. Set a strong, unique password — at least 12 characters, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not reuse passwords across devices.
  4. Save and log back in with the new credentials to confirm the change took effect.
  5. Update your RTSP URL with the new credentials, then use CamCheck below to verify the stream is still accessible.

Hikvision RTSP URL pattern

The RTSP URL pattern for Hikvision cameras:

rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ip>:554/Streaming/Channels/101

Replace <user>, <pass>, and <ip> with your camera's credentials and IP address. Never leave default credentials unchanged — update them and use CamCheck below to verify the stream.

Default ports

ONVIF path

Hikvision cameras support ONVIF at /onvif/device_service. Use an ONVIF client (e.g. ONVIF Device Manager) to discover and configure the camera.

Test your Hikvision camera stream

Paste your Hikvision RTSP URL below (use your real IP and credentials). StreamProbe will connect from our servers to verify reachability, detect codec and resolution, and confirm the stream is live — no software required.

Frequently asked questions

What is the default IP address for Hikvision cameras?

Hikvision cameras typically use DHCP by default, obtaining an IP address from your router. Use SADP (Hikvision/Dahua), ConfigTool, or a network scanner to find the camera IP. Some brands also assign a default static IP during initial setup.

How do I access the Hikvision camera web interface?

Open a web browser and navigate to http://. For HTTPS, use https://. Log in with your admin credentials. If you forgot the password, perform a factory reset by holding the reset button. Always set a strong password on first login.
