H.265 and TSW/Crestron App


 

Hi All,
I have an NVR that I'm trying to get display from an NVR. the stream URL works on stand-alone VLC but not on the panels including an xPanel on the same PC that I'm using VLC on.
VLC seems to indicate that the stream is H.265 vs H.264.? Can anyone confirm whether or not this can/should work on the App and TSWs?

TIA!


 

I have several jobs where we have IC Realtime NVRs and when they reboot sometimes they change the subchannel stream type to H.265 on their own and we lose video on the TSW panels/Apps. Seen this with Speco cameras as well.?Going into the NVR and changing it back to H.264 fixes it so I think the panels can't handle H.265. I would check the NVR/Camera stream settings.?


 

Chris,

I can confirm that H.265 only works on the TSW-x70 series and not on the Crestron App, xPanel, or earlier TSW series.
I typically use the third stream on IC Realtime cameras for my H.264 Crestron stream, but this isn't captured/rebroadcast by the NVR.
So, I usually connect TSW, app, and xPanel directly to the cameras.

I haven't noticed any IC Realtime NVRs rebooting and changing the stream type back.

Good luck,
Brian


 

Thanks guys!? I figured that might be the issue...
JohnMax, This is actually a Speco NVR with (mostly) Speco cameras - Unfortunately the dealer cheaped out and has them connected directly to the NVR so I'm having to pull the streams from the NVR...
As mentioned, Stand-alone VLC works fine.? Gary at Speco showed me how to change the settings for the cameras from 265 to 264 in the 'Settings/Record/Encode' section. AND I'm using the Sub-stream instead of the Main stream, FWIW...
Still no joy...:(
VLC Codec info still says that the stream is H.265...


 

I just realized that the settings in the Speco NVR to lower the compression to H.264 is only for the MAIN stream. I'm using the sub stream to keep things 'more stable'...:)
I have a call in to Speco to see how I can manage the Sub-stream...


 

Kudos to Gary and Jimel at Speco! They were very helpful on this...So with at least the N16NRN NVR with cameras connected to its internal switch, the URL for viewing Cameras is:
rtsp://admin:<password>@192.168.1.140:554/chID=X&streamType=sub
Where <password> is your password, although we ended up using an md5 encryptor for this...
and where X is the camera channel # (1-16 in this case)

The final issue was to get the Sub-stream changed from the default H.265 to H.264. This is unintuitively found in Settings/Network/Stream Settings/Substream settings
This seems to resolve the issue... (we'll see!? HaHa...)
