G180

G180 typically refers to a model number for a class of generic IP cameras offering 1080p resolution. These units are widely available as OEM hardware with standard RTSP/ONVIF support, making them easy to integrate with NVR software. Quality and firmware stability can vary, so testing each batch is recommended. How to connect to G180 IP cameras?

G180 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 G180 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.

G180 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 G180 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 is the best surveillance software I've used. The real-time alerts are quick and accurate. I can trust it to notify me only when something significant happens, making it much more efficient.

  • Another feature I love is the flexibility of the storage options. I can store footage locally or on the cloud, depending on my needs and preferences. This has given me more control over my data and ensured I can manage it without worrying about running out of storage space. The local NVR storage allows me to keep high-priority footage on-site, while I can archive less important footage in the cloud for easy access when needed. The hybrid storage option is the perfect balance for both security and convenience.
