Firmware version

[bartek810]

Hey. So is the highest firmware for RTSP 1.01?

[fightforlife]

That still needs to be tested. According to readme the port is still open in newer revisions, but not tested.
Edit: would be interesting if there is a downgrade protection in newer firmwares.

I just bought this camera today and just connected it to power.
In Accesspoint Mode without reset or downgrade the rtsp streams are available here. I do not know whats the difference:
rtsp://admin:PIN@192.168.0.20:554/live/profile.0/video
rtsp://admin:PIN@192.168.0.20:554/live/profile.1/video

Good stuff, I guess the correct url was just never published.

Both of those URLs seem to give us 15FPS @ 1920x1080 with a bitrate of around 750kb/s so no difference from what I can see.

I'll update the the readme.

What version is your firmware, @fightforlife?

[bartek810]

@mouldybread @fightforlife i also got mine today. RTSP working out of the box. Firmware 1.01,09 (3.5.11-b04)
Have you @mouldybread checked if the RTSP stream was working on 1.04.05(3.5.23-b01)?

[mouldybread]

@bartek810 Nope I haven't. I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that @fightforlife above had a newer device that shipped with a more recent firmware. It should be easy enough to test as you can currently upgrade and downgrade through the versions freely, but I ran out of time and needed to get the thing off my desk.

It may forcefully upgrade itself if it can access the internet. I seem to recall a post complaining that their device went from 1.03 to 1.04 without user intervention, but I can't find the post to be refer back to.

Just updated to 1.04.05 RTSP working well.
Edit just profile0 is working.
And also you can turn off auto update in the app

I can confirm that rtsp is working with both "profiles" (or rather urls) with firmware 1.02.02(3.5.16-b06) that came with my cameras.
It would be a good idea to block these cameras from reaching internet by fiddling in your firewall or however you want to do it, never trust d-link as we can't rule out the force-feed you an update or something ;)

This seems to have a small downside consisting in that the red/orange light on the cam keeps blinking as it's not able to reach dlink servers. Some black electrical tape over the led should fix that :)

Interesting. I blocked all internet access after setup and have no issues with the LED blinking. This is with 1.02.02.

[fightforlife]

For me it is the same as gurkburk76. Also the timestamp will always start at 01.01.2000 after reboot.

I have the same issue as @waqaslam. I updated to 1.04.05, none of the RTSP urls are working and recovery webpage to invoke the downgrade does not exist. I did a quick nmap and it said the http port is now on 8080, but I think the webserver ignores all requests that don't match a specific path since just going to the 192.168.0.20:8080/ does not work.

[ErikAndren]

I have upgraded to 1.04.05 and can still access the profile0 stream. profile1 has been converted to some kind of echo show stream.

The recovery web page is on port 80.
You need to press the reset button for at least 5 seconds to enter recovery mode.
The led indicator should change color to red.

I just updated my DCS-6100LH to the latest firmware 1.04.05(3.5.23-b01) and unfortunately I've lost access to rtsp streams for both profile 0 and 1. Before when it wasn't updated, I was successfully able to access rtsp streams in VLC, android's tinyCamPro and motioneye systems but this is not the case anymore.

Can you please write the URL you are accessing to access the rtsp stream?

This is the url I am using in vlc. Obviously you need to change the ip-address:
rtsp://192.168.20.11:554/live/profile.0/video

Yep, my bad, I think I pushed the reset button too early in the boot phase. In my defense the orange and red look super similar...

I now have the rtsp stream accessible.

Thanks @ErikAndren

yeah, my dcs got force-fed an auto update last night. it went up to 1.04.05.
going to need firewall blocking on this i think

You can disable the auto-update in the mydlink app.

Indeed, this is because you are on the latest version.
You can force a downgrade by following the instructions in the README of this repository.
Then you can disable the autoupdate in the app.
