CLOUD

Cloud is a generic descriptor used by many brands to highlight cloud storage functionality in their cameras. Cloud cameras allow users to access video recordings remotely without needing a physical NVR. These cameras are aimed at tech?savvy users who prioritize remote accessibility and convenience. Cloud?enabled devices often support instant notifications and multi?device access. This category has grown rapidly with the rise of subscription?based security services. How to connect to Cloud IP cameras?

Cloud 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 Cloud 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.

Cloud 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 Cloud 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.

Unlike other systems I've used in the past that were overloaded with unnecessary features and complicated settings, SmartVision has a clean and intuitive interface. Everything is straightforward, from setting up new cameras to adjusting motion detection settings. Even a novice user can easily get the system running without any technical expertise.
