UniView IP Cameras

Recommended Posts

We’re trying to finish up a big C4 project and everything has gone so well until we tried to integrate the cameras.

For some stupid reason I decided to use UniView cameras on this project and got a driver from Janus Technology. 

The issue we’re having is we get no thumbnails on navigator but when you click on the broken link icon for the camera it pops up and looks great.

Any guidance or advice would be super helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Uniview RTSP seems to be supported by Blue Iris.  I have the paid BI driver, I think there is a free one too.  Can give your client the option (paid one has a lot more programming and complex features).  If you just need to get the streams into the navigator - maybe try the free BI driver?

It’s so odd. I am randomly getting a snapshot sometimes but most of the time there’s none and I’ve never had all snapshots. 

I don’t have a PC in his setup running all the time.

At the moment I’m stuck and looking at the option of just switching all 16 cameras out with Hikvision.

I actually tried it today. I popped up as a certified driver but I’m still having issues with not being able to see preview thumbnails in navigator.

It works randomly or never works? Video works fine, correct?

Have you tried  lowering the snapshot resolution in the camera's settings?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm about to go with Uniview cameras and was wondering if this issue has been resolved, or should I go with another brand of cameras?

What brand do you guys recommend that works seamlessly with C4?

thank you!

? Standard driver works fine for me and we've done lots.

One thing to note is is the size of the snapshot image file (can be set in camera - should be 200k)

snapshot url is just [IP]/images/snapshot.jpg

Can you Please share the driver you have the uniview cameras working?
