Xblock 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 Xblock 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.

Xblock 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 Xblock 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:
  • What I really appreciate about SmartVision is its scalability. My old system could barely handle a couple of cameras, let alone expand to cover a larger property. With SmartVision, I can add new cameras effortlessly and manage all of them from a single interface. The ability to monitor multiple locations remotely is a huge bonus, and the cloud storage capabilities make scaling up as easy as it should be. I no longer have to worry about whether my system can keep up with my growing surveillance needs.

  • What I love most about SmartVision is its ability to streamline security. The AI detection minimizes unnecessary notifications, and the software is simple enough for anyone to use, regardless of technical knowledge.
