ONVIF Device Manager is an open-source software application (currently available for Windows only), which scans your network for cameras, DVRs, and NVRs, trying to locate a stream address that can then be used for connecting your device to Angelcam.
Who should use this?
If you’ve already setup port-forwarding for your device, but Angelcam can't find a stream automatically and/or:
Your device documentation doesn't mention an RTSP or MJPEG stream path
Your camera supplier or manufacturer provides no support
You can't find any documentation or information on Google
Finding a stream path
Step 1: Be sure that you are on the same network as the device you're trying to discover (advanced users can also try to find a stream address for remotely accessible cameras as well, just use the "Add" button and specify the public address and forwarded ONVIF port of the remote device)
Step 2: Download and install ONVIF Device Manager (Windows only)
Step 3: Click the "Refresh" button to scan your network
Step 4: Select "Live Video" from the menu
Step 5: Copy the stream address, shown under the live video, to your clipboard (be sure to replace your local IP address with the public one when connecting directly)
Note: if your camera is password protected, be sure to enter your credentials in the upper left corner.
Connecting a camera to Angelcam
a) With AngelBox
Step 1: Open AngelBox's Camera Connector, type in your AngelBox's ID, and let AngelBox detect your device
Step 2: Once found, click, "I want to use a different camera stream channel"
Step 3: Paste the stream address from your clipboard and delete everything except the part after the port. For example, if your camera stream has been discovered at "
rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.1.100:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1" use "/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1" only.
A more detailed procedure is explained here.
b) Without AngelBox
Step 1: Port forwarding needs to be configured on your router for the designated camera
Step 2: Open Camera Connector
Step 3: Paste the stream address
Step 4: Replace the local IP address with the public IP address of your network
Step 5: Replace the stream port of the camera with the port you set up during the configuration of port forwarding in Step 1
A more detailed procedure is explained here.
IMPORTANT: Always make sure your camera/DVR/NVR has synchronized time. If the time is not synchronized, ONVIF pairing might not work.
