[chris on moon_568876227412240]

Hello,

just bought 2 new REOLINK DUO 2 Cams. I wonder what are the streams ?

Does anbody know the rtsp streams?

Does it Work with VLC?

Thx Chris

@chris-on-moon_568876227412240 Hi there, it supports RTSP and it can work with the VLC.

It seems that it is not enabled by default.

Login to the camera with a browser:
Configuration icon > Network Settings > Advanced > Port Settings > Set Up > Enable RTSP/Onvif (depending on what you want) > Save

On mine I had to scroll down to see the setting.

@user_601244343033959_601244343033959 Yes, it is not enabled by default. It is to guarantee network safety. If you want to use the network ports, you can enable the one that you want in the setting.

After enabling the settings for RTSP, it's still not clear what the URL format is. Can someone answer the OP's original question?

Since admins weren't any help and this is the first result on Google, the solution from https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006240073-Request-for-RTSP-URL:

The format of RTSP address is as below:
rtsp://(user name):(password)@(IP address):554/h264Preview_01_(stream type)
For example, if your camera or NVR has the following information,
IP address: 192.168.10.92
username: admin
password: 111111
then the RTSP URL will be:
Main Stream: rtsp://admin:111111@192.168.10.92:554/h264Preview_01_main

Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:111111@192.168.10.92:554/h264Preview_01_sub
 
You may also change the channel number to view different channels.

For example, if you want to view channel 2 on NVR, then the RTSP URL will be:
Main Stream: rtsp://admin:111111@192.168.10.92:554/h264Preview_02_main

Sub Stream: rtsp://admin:111111@192.168.10.92:554/h264Preview_02_sub

@user_656315826393146_656315826393146 And if the cam uses codec H.265 for high resolution then you need to replace h264 by h265 in the main stream.

On the Duo 2 cameras, do you view each camera's feed via a different RTSP URL? Or does the camera join the video from both cameras together to create a single feed so you can see both cameras via a single RTSP URL?
