Connect a camera

Check RTSP and ONVIF ports separately

The short answer

RTSP video and ONVIF services can use different ports. A successful port test narrows the network question but does not validate the stream path or login.

Work through the checks

  1. Read the camera address in your router’s DHCP client list or the manufacturer’s local setup tool. Confirm the entry against the MAC address instead of guessing an address.

  2. Check the model manual for an ONVIF service switch and any separate ONVIF account. Use the configured service port; do not assume it equals the RTSP port.

  3. Copy the RTSP path from the documentation for the exact product family. Keep the address, service port, channel and main/substream selector as separate values during diagnosis.

  4. Inspect the active Windows network profile and the app’s permitted local access. Use a narrowly scoped app exception when needed; keep the firewall enabled.

Example to adapt
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.0.2.10 -Port 554

What to verify

Test only the configured device and service port from the Windows computer. A successful TCP connection proves reachability to that port, not correct credentials or a decoded video image.
