3. Camera Settings
Camera settings, taking Hikvision as an example. The settings page is as follows:
The user only needs to set the parameters in the red box. The SIP server ID and server address can be obtained from the configuration page.

Where Serial = "34020000002000000001" is the SIP server ID, Realm = "3402000000" is the SIP server domain, and the SIP server IP is the IP of the server itself.
The SIP username and SIP authentication ID are set by the customer according to the GB28181 protocol specification.
The video channel encoding ID is also set by the customer according to the GB28181 protocol specification.
Currently the GB28181 server does not support authentication, so the password and password confirmation can be left empty.
