Tested RTSP-based IP cameras
Pearl-2 is compatible with all Ethernet-based IP cameras and other RTSP sources. The cameras listed in the following table represent a sample of common third-party cameras that have been tested to work with Pearl-2. Information such as URL syntax, default credentials and audio streaming capability specific to each camera is included.
The URL syntax refers to the additional piece of text that needs to be included in the source URL to connect your IP camera to Pearl-2, see Connect an RTSP source to learn how to connect an RTSP source like an IP camera using the Admin panel.
For example, to connect a Sony SRG300SE camera with an IP address of "192.168.0.160", your source URL needs to be entered as:
"rtsp://192.168.0.160/video1"
Or, if using a Q-See QCN8029Z camera, your source URL needs to be entered as:
"rtsp://192.168.0.160/"
