Connect a Sony camera to VISEC.
Sony's SNC network cameras are a mature range and a great many are still in service. Later firmware supports ONVIF, so VISEC can find them with a scan; on an older unit the reliable route is to add it by its RTSP address instead, which works regardless of ONVIF support.
Press scan.
VISEC searches your network for ONVIF cameras and lists what it finds. If your Sony camera already has ONVIF switched on, it appears here and you are watching live in a few seconds — nothing below is needed.
If the camera does not appear.
Menu names move around between firmware versions, so treat these as the place to look rather than an exact path.
-
Open the camera in a browser
Sign in with the administrator account. VISEC's scan will report the address if you do not know it.
-
Look for the ONVIF setting
On models that support it this sits in the network or system configuration. Enable it and note which user ONVIF will accept.
-
If there is no ONVIF option, use RTSP
An older camera is not a dead end. Find its stream path in the model's documentation and paste the full address into VISEC as a manual camera.
-
Scan or add manually from VISEC
Press scan for an ONVIF camera, or choose the manual option and paste the RTSP address.
