Activa IP camera

Initial setup of IP cameras starts by isolating the device from the main network and connecting it to a separate segment or directly to a laptop to avoid IP conflicts and prevent accidental external access. Identify the factory IP address and default credentials and change them right away. In large systems the same password can be used within an isolated subnet for easier management, but different passwords should be set for remote access.

RTSP Address of Activa IP camera

RTSP is a standard protocol for streaming video and audio over a network. It lets the camera connect to a recorder or software without vendor apps. The URL usually looks like rtsp://login:password@IP:554/path_to_stream. You can find it in the documentation, the web interface, or with SmartVision or ONVIF Device Manager.







ONVIF vs RTSP: What’s the Difference?

People often confuse ONVIF with video streaming — but ONVIF doesn’t transmit video at all.

Activa compatible software

Assign a static IP address from a dedicated range, place cameras in a separate VLAN, and block direct Internet access if cloud features are not used. Use SmartVison to find Activa IP camera on network. Disable UPnP, DDNS, auto-updates, and any unused protocols for security reason. If the camera does not support RTSP, check if you can enable it in settings. Try HTTP streaming if supported. If not, replace the camera with a model that supports RTSP or ONVIF.

What Users Are Saying About SmartVision
SmartVision brings simplicity and intelligence to security with its AI-powered VMS. It’s easy to use, provides real-time motion detection, and gives you remote access to your cameras. Here’s what users are saying:
  • With SmartVision, I feel confident that my surveillance system is secure. In the past, I had to worry about port forwarding and leaving my cameras exposed to potential hackers. But now, thanks to SmartVision's secure architecture, I know my footage and cameras are protected from unauthorized access. The added encryption and secure cloud storage features ensure that my data is safe, and I don't have to worry about vulnerabilities.
    Adam Morgan
  • One feature that's been especially useful is the motion detection system. With my previous setup, I would often get notifications for things like wind moving trees or passing clouds. But with SmartVision, the system only sends alerts when something that matters happens. It's a huge relief not to be bombarded with unnecessary notifications, and I'm confident that I won't miss any important events.
