Flir 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 Flir 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.

1,2M rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.188:554/live
1000 rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.188:554/cam/realmonitor

1,2M rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.188:554//cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=00&authbasic=[AUTH]

ONVIF vs RTSP: What’s the Difference?

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

Flir 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 Flir 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:
  • SmartVision has truly revolutionized how I handle video surveillance at my business. Before I started using this software, I struggled with outdated and complicated systems that required constant troubleshooting. The user interface was clunky, and I could never rely on the motion detection to capture the right moments, often missing important events or getting bombarded with unnecessary alerts. SmartVision has completely eliminated these issues. The motion detection is incredibly precise, powered by real-time AI analytics that helps me only focus on relevant footage. This has drastically reduced my need to sort through hours of useless recordings.
    Christian Peterson
  • I couldn't be happier with SmartVision. It's simple, intuitive, and the AI really helps to focus on what matters. No more wasting time on irrelevant footage. The real-time alerts and remote access make it the perfect solution for home or business security.
