Treat the model as a legacy installation
The Edimax IR-113E product page explicitly places the camera among legacy products and lists ONVIF with H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG streaming. This is evidence for that named device, not proof that every Edimax indoor camera uses the same services. Retain the full model label, hardware revision and firmware details when assessing an existing installation.
Older browser instructions can refer to software no longer suitable for a modern operating system. A failed browser plug-in is not by itself proof that RTSP is unavailable. Conversely, a historical data sheet does not prove that current security updates or replacement support are available. Check the vendor download information before deciding how to retain the camera.
Confirm one local stream with minimal changes
- Find the existing camera IP address in your router or installation records and confirm that the device is powered and connected to the intended local network.
- Open the authorized device settings and record the configured RTSP port and enabled video formats. Consult the exact model manual if the menu differs.
- Use the model-documented main stream or an authenticated ONVIF media URI. Select H.264 where available rather than assuming every stream uses that codec.
- Enter the URI and local camera credentials in SmartRTSP, verify a moving picture, then save the successful profile before checking audio or additional streams.
Stream numbering can describe a different codec
The IR-113E/IR-123E manual identifies stream1 for the H.264/MPEG-4 main stream, stream2 for MJPEG, and a separate mobile stream. Therefore, changing a stream number may change the format as well as the image size. Confirm which encoder is enabled in your own camera before diagnosing a decoder failure. These historical paths should not be transferred to an unrelated IC-series model.
ONVIF support does not imply every control
Use discovery to request media information only after confirming model support and account access. A camera returned by discovery can still have a profile or codec unsupported by the receiving viewer. PTZ, audio output, alarm inputs and recording access are separate capabilities. Do not infer them from the existence of an ONVIF label or from another Edimax camera with a similar appearance.
Keep legacy access isolated and documented
For a timeout, check address changes, the service port and local firewall rules. For repeated login errors, recover the configured account through the documented process rather than cycling through guessed defaults. Keep the camera off the public internet and use an approved private network route for remote viewing. Preserve working recorder settings before considering a reset. Documentation reviewed on 2026-10-18; the referenced manual is historical, and its download availability may vary. No current all-model support or hardware test is claimed.
Check each feature independently
Start on the same local network with the exact model, firmware and account permissions. A working video stream does not prove support for ONVIF discovery, pan or tilt, two-way audio, events, or every recording feature. Test the features you need in your installed SmartRTSP app.
Keep camera credentials private. Do not expose camera ports to the public internet just to test local viewing. Manufacturer cloud accounts, device accounts and generated sharing links are not interchangeable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does stream2 always mean a low bandwidth H.264 stream?
No. In the referenced IR-113E/IR-123E manual, stream2 is associated with MJPEG. Check the enabled encoder rather than relying on the number.
Does the legacy product page prove current firmware support?
No. Use it to identify documented capabilities of the named model, and separately check the available firmware and support status.
Should I copy an IC-series URL into an IR camera?
Only if that exact model documentation confirms it. Similar branding does not establish an interchangeable path.
Official sources and scope
Read the documentation for the exact model before changing settings. Manufacturer menus, firmware and service availability can change. These sources explain the published connection conditions, not independently verified SmartRTSP hardware compatibility.
