CIPEM

Cipem is a lesser-known security electronics brand producing IP cameras and DVRs for residential use. Their products emphasize plug-and-play setup and basic remote monitoring capabilities. Integrators should check for ONVIF support and apply firmware updates to reduce vulnerabilities before large-scale deployment. How to connect to Cipem IP cameras?

Cipem 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 Cipem 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.

Cipem 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 Cipem 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:
  • One of the things that impressed me the most about SmartVision is the reduction in false alarms. Traditional motion detectors often triggered recordings for the smallest of changes in the environment, like a tree swaying or light fluctuating. With SmartVision's AI, I no longer deal with unnecessary recordings. The system intelligently filters out false triggers and only activates recording when it detects genuine motion or events that matter. This has saved me a lot of time and effort.
    Walter Campbell
  • The AI-driven motion detection is another standout feature of SmartVision. My old system had a basic motion detector that would trigger recordings for everything – wind, changing light, even small animals. This created massive storage problems and made it hard to find relevant footage. With SmartVision, the AI ensures that only significant events are recorded, saving both time and storage space. The system automatically recognizes faces, vehicles, and objects, providing a higher level of accuracy compared to traditional motion detection methods.
