Hanwha Vision RTSP Setup

How to Enable RTSP on Hanwha Vision Cameras

1

Log in to the camera web interface

Open a browser and navigate to http://<camera-IP>. Sign in with your admin credentials. Default username is admin and the default password is either blank or 4321 depending on the camera model and firmware version. You will be prompted to change the password on first login. If you are using the older Wisenet Device Manager software, you can locate the camera's IP address there before opening the browser.

2

Review stream profile settings

In the web UI, navigate to Video & Audio → Stream profile (on some firmware, this is under Video → Stream). Confirm that profile1 is the main (high resolution) stream and profile2 is the sub-stream. You can also adjust codec (H.264 or H.265), resolution, and bitrate here. On PTZ cameras, you may see additional profiles for the third stream (profile3).

3

Confirm ONVIF is enabled (recommended)

ONVIF is enabled by default on all Hanwha Vision cameras. You can verify this under Network → ONVIF in the web UI. Hanwha Vision is one of the few manufacturers to support all three major ONVIF profiles: Profile S (video streaming), Profile G (recording and storage), and Profile T (advanced video features including H.265 and metadata). Using SmartRTSP's ONVIF scan is the fastest way to connect.

4

Add the camera to SmartRTSP

Option A — ONVIF Auto-Discovery (recommended): Tap the scan icon in SmartRTSP. Hanwha Vision cameras will appear in seconds and be added automatically with the correct stream URL.

Option B — Manual RTSP URL: Tap + → Manual in SmartRTSP, then enter your camera's URL:

rtsp://admin:YourPassword@192.168.1.100:554/profile1/media.smp

Hanwha Vision RTSP URL Reference

Hanwha Vision (Samsung Techwin) cameras use a profile-based URL scheme with the /profileN/media.smp path. profile1 is the main high-resolution stream, profile2 is the sub-stream.

Stream RTSP Path
Profile 1 — Main stream (HD) /profile1/media.smp
Profile 2 — Sub-stream (SD) /profile2/media.smp
Profile 3 — Third stream /profile3/media.smp
Full URL — Main stream rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/profile1/media.smp
Full URL — Sub-stream rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/profile2/media.smp

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Hanwha Vision and Samsung cameras?
They are the same cameras. In 2015, Hanwha Group acquired Samsung Techwin (the security division of Samsung Electronics), which was later rebranded as Hanwha Vision. The cameras previously sold as Samsung Techwin or Samsung SNS are now sold under the Hanwha Vision brand with the Wisenet product line name. The RTSP URL format — /profile1/media.smp — has remained consistent across the rebrand.
Does Hanwha Vision support ONVIF?
Yes — Hanwha Vision is one of the strongest ONVIF supporters in the industry. All current Wisenet cameras support ONVIF Profile S (streaming), Profile G (recording/storage), and Profile T (advanced video including H.265, HEVC, and video analytics metadata). ONVIF is enabled by default and does not need to be manually activated on most models. SmartRTSP's ONVIF scan will discover any Hanwha camera on your LAN automatically.
How do I access the third or fourth stream on a Hanwha camera?
Simply increment the profile number in the URL. Profile 3 = /profile3/media.smp, Profile 4 = /profile4/media.smp. Whether these profiles are active depends on your camera model and firmware configuration. Check Video & Audio → Stream profile in the web UI to see which profiles are enabled and their resolution/bitrate settings.
Why can't I connect to my Hanwha camera via RTSP?
Common causes: (1) Wrong IP address — use Wisenet Device Manager or your router's DHCP table to find the camera; (2) Firewall blocking port 554 — check both the camera's built-in firewall and your network router; (3) Incorrect credentials — passwords are case-sensitive on Hanwha cameras; (4) Different network segment — your phone and camera must be on the same local network. If all else fails, try the ONVIF scan in SmartRTSP, which often succeeds even when manual RTSP fails.
Where can I find official Hanwha Vision support resources?
Official documentation, firmware downloads, and the Wisenet Device Manager software are available at hanwhavision.com. The Wisenet Device Manager is a free Windows utility that can scan your network, find all Hanwha cameras, and display their IP addresses — useful when you don't know the camera's IP.
