Does anyone know if EZVIZ cameras are compatible with Netcam Studio. I am currently using some older cameras to broadcast over my website (ComalRiverCam.com). However, I would like to upgrade to newer and higher def cameras. I’ve seen a couple of reviews on YouTube of the EZVIZ cameras and they look easy to setup using a phone. I’m just wondering if they can be setup on the PC to be served to the web. They are not listed as compatible on the Netcam Studio web site.
Hi,
In general to connect an IP camera to Netcam Studio (or any other software like that) the camera must support the ONVIF standard protocol or you must have the correct URL how to communicate with the camera. The URL can be rtsp://xxxxxxxx. ONVIF is a standard how to connect a camera and the software to each other. EZVIZ has many cameras so you must look on each one. There are many posts in this forum about cameras so look for one that other users are using that works well.

Henrik, thank you for your response. I was hoping someone in the forum might have had some direct experience with EZVIZ cameras. The particular one I was looking at (with a very inexpensive price) does not support the ONVIF standard. I will continue my search for other cameras that are compatible with the software.
New information.
This works for EZVIZ C6T so it might work for other models also.
If the camera support ONVIF use the tab for ONVIF Source first.
So in NCS add the camera using the tab for Custom URL. Set stream type to rtsp_tcp.
For address use:
rtsp://admin:device_verification_code@cameraIP:554/H.264
Depending on camera the device_verification_code can also be a password that you set in the camera.
Henrik, thanks so much for following up on this. After my initial inquiry and your response I found some inexpensive and older model HD cameras by D-Link that have worked perfectly with Netcam Studio for my needs. If you’d like to take a look my web site with the newer HD cameras it is ComalRiverCam.com. Hope you enjoy your weekend.
