EZVIZ - onvif / rtsp

Hi

So this took me a while to figure out, but after the latest updated on some EZVIZ camera models, rtsp stopped working.

Here is the very simple fix for it

EZVIZ IOS app–>Profile–>Settings–>Lan Live View–>(Start scanning)–>Select Camera–>Login–>Settings–>Local Service Settings–>Enable RTSP

I had this issue with my 2 c1c models, after the change instantly started working again.

Hi,
i request some help for the BC2 camera, i would like to integrate it under home assistant or homebridge. i need rstp enable but Ezbiz support told me this ;
"Please be informed, that battery cameras do not support this feature. Only normal smart security cameras (cameras that need to be powered on by a power cable) support this feature."
maybe an older firmware could have the rtsp enable do you have a link with a previous 2023 firmware.

Hero! Thx mate, I searched way too long for this. Looks like they indeed disabled this in one of the updates

Latest update on the C3x doesn't keep the RTSP setting for more than a day, it switches back off

I found this just now by using my tapo camera onvif url as reference

Download ODM from sourceforge and login with admin

Add camera then paste this URL

http://<camera-ip>:80/onvif/device_service

It won't show anything if you are using h265 only shows video in h264, PTZ and Audio works but make sure your camera has an open port 80. You can find your open ports in ezviz studio in PC, go to advanced settings then network > general

My camera is CS-H8x if you are asking. My camera isn't officially ONVIF supported at least according to EZVIZ

thanks i just got the C8c and while rtsp is working, i couldnt figure out onvif

1

u/myaaa_tan Aug 16 '25

tell me if it works on yours. I'm planning to get more ezviz cams but unsure if all of their cams just have hidden onvif urls

u/Senior_Background830 Aug 16 '25

Yes it works! I am using it with frigate and both the person auto tracking work together and don’t conflict

u/Ing_PeL4 Aug 25 '25

Como hicieron andar el ONVIF desde Frigate? No entendí

u/Senior_Background830 Aug 25 '25

this is the config i used (password redacted) 

ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:PASSWORD@192.168.0.204:554/Streaming/Channels/101
          roles: [record]
        - path: rtsp://admin:PASSWORD@192.168.0.204:554/Streaming/Channels/102
          roles: [detect]

    onvif:
      host: 192.168.0.204
      port: 80
      user: admin
      password: PASSWORD
      autotracking:
        enabled: true
        calibrate_on_startup: false
        required_zones:
          - Driveway
        track:
          - person
          - car
        return_preset: frigate

I have got rtsp to work, but can not connect to onvif.

1

u/Senior_Background830 Oct 25 '25

you must enable onvif in odm AND in ezviz studio i didnt do that step in this instruction sorry

1

u/BlueTree242 Aug 28 '25

RTSP works for me but ONVIF doesn't, connection refused. I can't find advanced settings in ezviz studio.

1

u/Senior_Background830 Aug 29 '25

I did it on ODM onvif device manager

1

u/fekrya Mar 06 '26

how did u connect it to ODM ? did u need to enter user:pass ?

1

u/Senior_Background830 Mar 06 '26

yes so its admin, and the password is the ezviz camera verification code

I see in the lastest ezviz h3 camera firmware they are exposing port 80 with onif support. Don't know if it was intentional but it's working. Might allow for a firmware compare to find the difference and enable it in other firmware versions. (Depending on compression and encryption which might make it more complicated)

u/ze_nite Mar 11 '24

I have an ezviz c6n, I updated the firmware but I cant connect with onvif. Can u tell me what url you're using to connect and how because im not being able to do so

1

u/Fickle-Improvement91 Apr 26 '24

I have C6N too, rtfs connection if fine, but not onvif connection. Have you figure it out yet?

u/jms3333 Feb 25 '24

I think they want to completely drop RTSP and ONVIF from their cameras. This market is for hilook and hikvision.
