HTTP video streaming maximum number of users

[blancod]

Hello,
I'm new in this forum and also a beginner with HIKVISION cameras. I've some expertise on Axis cameras and now I've started with HIKVISION.
I open this thread because I want to integrate my camera in a website and for that purpose I'd like to use the HTTP video streaming of the camera. The camera is DS-2DE5232W-AE and it's updated to the latest firmware 5.6.15. The issue is that when I connect to the camera using a web browser through its url:

http://userassword@IPort/Streaming/channels/101/httpPreview

It works fine for the first time I do it, however when I try to do a second attemp simultaneously (on a new tab, or a new browser regardless if it is the same computer or other in the network) I get a xlm page:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<ResponseStatus xmlns="http://www.hikvision.com/ver10/XMLSchema" version="1.0">
<requestURL>/Streaming/channels/101/httpPreview</requestURL>
<statusCode>4</statusCode>
<statusString>Invalid Operation</statusString>
</ResponseStatus>

Does anybody know why this is happening? (I use the same procedure with Axis cameras and works fine for multiple connections).

Thank you.

@blancod have you tried RTSP?

 

[blancod]

Yes. With RTSP works fine. But I need HTTP for the web.

Hi @blancod

I have never personally set up a HTTP stream but this YouTube video should help you.

@blancod if it helps, I use Webcam Hosting Explained and live streaming explained to stream a camera to my new website www.cavecanis.co.uk.

Thank you Dan. Yes I watched that video and it's really helpfull but it doesn't mention anything about multiple connections.

Thank you David. It seems to be a good option. I'll definitely consider it. Anyway in the meantime I'll try to explore a bit more the HTTP option.

Hi - I am trying to do exactly the same as the OP. I too have moved from an Axis camera to a HikVision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE.
I want to stream video over HTTP so that I can embed this in a web page (Note this is hosted via Weebly so I only have the option to embed HTML)
Has anyone got this working?

Thanks
Jonathan
