Many of your clients like the idea of remotely viewing Hikvision CCTV cameras. This feature is widely used by CCTV installers to promote their systems. CCTV systems were installed in many homes especially for this purpose. The Hik-connect app, an IVMS server, and web browsers are just a few of the remote viewing options available for Hikvision security cameras.
Can you view your cameras remotely without installing any software or plugins on your computer?
You can view your Hikvision cameras with a simple click. By using RTSP or Push HTTP, Hikvision cameras can be viewed remotely. Let’s look at the configuration options.
How to Get Hikvision Remote Stream Using HTTP Commands
1. Configure video stream
a) HTTP commands get stream only available under Sub stream.
b) Go to [Configuration]-[Video/Audio]-[Video], set the Stream Type as Sub-stream and Video Encoding as MJPEG.

2. Get stream on Firefox or Chrome HTTP commands is only available on Firefox or Chrome browser.
a) URL: HTTP without Authentication (Need input user name and password on pop-up window) http://:/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview HTTP with Authentication
http://<username>:<password>@<IP address of IPC>:<HTTP
port>/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/102/httpPreview
