RTSP Setup Guide

Bosch RTSP Setup

Use ONVIF discovery first for a compatible Bosch camera. RTSP paths and ONVIF profiles vary by product family and firmware, so do not assume one universal URL or factory credential.

How to Connect Bosch to SmartRTSP

1

Access Bosch camera web interface

Navigate to http://<camera-IP>. Log in with administrator credentials. Use the administrator account created during commissioning. Do not assume a factory username or password; follow the exact product installation guide.

2

Verify RTSP service is enabled

In the camera web UI, go to Settings → Services → RTSP and ensure RTSP is enabled on port 554. Bosch cameras have RTSP enabled by default on most firmware versions.

3

Use ONVIF scan (recommended)

Try SmartRTSP's ONVIF scanner first. Conformance profiles and enabled services vary by model and firmware; verify the exact product if discovery fails.

4

Manual RTSP URL

If manual entry is needed:

rtsp://camera_user:YourPassword@192.168.1.100:554/<documented-path>

For path families and stream instances, use the advanced model-aware reference below.

FAQ

Does Bosch fully support ONVIF?
Many Bosch products are ONVIF conformant, but supported profiles and features vary. Check the exact product in Bosch documentation or the ONVIF conformant-products database.
What is the difference between /rtsp_tunnel and /video?
These paths apply to different product families or firmware generations. Treat them as examples and use the endpoint documented for the exact model; do not assume either is universal.
