Hikvison 2CD6412 accessing channel 2

[thompsondl]

Hello, I have a Hikvision DS-2CD6412FWD-C2 with two DS-2CD6412FWD-L20 cameras attached to it. For those not familiar the DS-2CD6412FWD-C2 is like a little POE camera controller that has two ports on it for the cameras. You access it just like any other Hikvision camera except it has two channels on it for the two cameras. Its configured and both cameras work fine when connecting directly into the DS-2CD6412FWD-C2. Anyways, I am trying to get the RTSP url correct to access the second channel from ZM.

I had one camera attached to it for a while now and working great in ZM. I was using the following as the source...

rtsp://[user]:[pass]@192.168.101.53:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0?tcp

I figured it would just be as easy as changing the channel number to 2 for the second channel. Like this...

rtsp://[user]:[pass]@192.168.101.53:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=2&subtype=0?tcp

Doesn't work. I still just get the picture from channel 1. I tried all kinds of combinations and including other options I found searching for Hikvision like...

rtsp://[user]:[pass]@192.168.101.53:554//Streaming/Channels/2

Still no luck. I tried a few other and still only get channel 1. I found that whatever is listed after the port number is, as far as I can tell gets ignored. If i just use...

rtsp://[user]:[pass]@192.168.101.53:554

I get channel 1 again. if I use...

rtsp://[user]:[pass]@192.168.101.53:554/I cant figure this out

I get channel 1 again. Literally putting the "/I cant figure this out" in the string with spaces and everything. ZM shows the source as "I cant figure this out". Still works but shows channel 1.

Anybody ever set anything up like this? Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

I answered my own question. Kept messing with possible combinations and found the one that works...
