Uniview Integration Guide

RTSP is enabled by default on Uniview cameras. Verify and configure the stream parameters.

1. Open a browser and navigate to http://[camera-ip]
2. Log in with admin credentials
3. Navigate to Setup → Network → RTSP
4. Confirm RTSP is enabled and the port is set to 554
5. Under Authentication, select Digest (recommended) or Digest/Basic
6. Navigate to Setup → Video → Video to configure stream quality:
   • Stream 1 (main): H.264, full resolution, 15-20 FPS, CBR 4096-6144 Kbps
   • Stream 2 (sub): H.264, 1280x720 or 640x360, 10 FPS, CBR 1024 Kbps
   • Stream 3 (mobile/third): H.264, 352x288, 10 FPS, 512 Kbps

# Verify RTSP access:
ffprobe -rtsp_transport tcp \
  "rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/unicast/c1/s0/live"

ONVIF allows AgenticEye to automatically discover your Uniview cameras on the network and query their capabilities.

1. Navigate to Setup → Network → ONVIF
2. Set ONVIF to Enable
3. The default ONVIF port is 80
4. Under ONVIF user management, add a user for AgenticEye. Uniview cameras typically share the same user database for ONVIF and system access, but verify this under the ONVIF settings page
5. Enable WS-Discovery for automatic network discovery
6. Optionally enable ONVIF Compatibility Mode if you encounter issues with third-party ONVIF clients (see Troubleshooting section)

# ONVIF device service URL:
http://192.168.1.100:80/onvif/device_service

# Test ONVIF connectivity:
from onvif import ONVIFCamera
cam = ONVIFCamera('192.168.1.100', 80, 'admin', 'YourPassword')
info = cam.devicemgmt.GetDeviceInformation()
print(f"Manufacturer: {info.Manufacturer}")
print(f"Model: {info.Model}")
print(f"Firmware: {info.FirmwareVersion}")

Optimize stream settings for AgenticEye's AI analysis pipeline. The sub-stream is typically used for real-time analysis while the main stream is used for recording and detailed review.

1. Navigate to Setup → Video → Video
2. For AgenticEye AI analysis, configure Stream 2 (sub stream):
   • Encoding: H.264 (best compatibility with AI pipeline)
   • Resolution: 1280x720 (sufficient for most AI detection tasks)
   • Frame Rate: 10-15 FPS
   • Bitrate Control: CBR for consistent network usage
   • I-Frame Interval: 30-50 (1-2x the frame rate)
3. If your AgenticEye plan supports 4K analysis, use Stream 1 instead with appropriate bandwidth allocation
4. Set the Smart Codec feature to Enabled if available — this reduces bandwidth during static scenes

# Uniview RTSP URL format:
# c[channel] = channel number (1-based)
# s[stream]  = stream number (0=main, 1=sub, 2=third)

# Camera — main stream, channel 1:
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/unicast/c1/s0/live

# Camera — sub stream, channel 1:
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/unicast/c1/s1/live

# NVR — main stream, channel 3:
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/unicast/c3/s0/live

# NVR — sub stream, channel 8:
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/unicast/c8/s1/live

Connect your configured Uniview camera or NVR to the AgenticEye platform.

1. Log in to your AgenticEye dashboard at app.agenticeye.com
2. Navigate to Cameras → Add Camera
3. Select Uniview from the manufacturer dropdown
4. Choose connection method:
   • RTSP Direct — enter the RTSP URL for the specific stream
   • ONVIF Discovery — AgenticEye will scan and list available cameras
   • NVR Bridge — connect to an NVR and select individual channels
5. For NVR setups, you can add multiple channels from a single NVR — each channel becomes a separate camera in AgenticEye
6. Click Test Connection to verify the stream
7. Name the camera, select your AI agent vertical, and click Save & Activate
