SightLogix video is commonly viewed via a compatible VMS by adding the SightLogix device as an ONVIF device. If you are adding a dual-stream SightSensor (HD or TC), add the device to your VMS and both streams will be available.
Alternatively, you can view the camera's video via third-party applications, as described below.
Dual-Stream SightSensor TC and SightSensor HD
On the dual-stream SightSensor TC and HD, both visible and thermal streams are available as MJPEG or MPEG.
We recommend ONVIF Device Manager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/), or any generic media player, like as the open-source VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/). You can also use a web browser.
For ONVIF Device Manager:
- Default ONVIF credentials: service/test1234
- SightSensors can usually be discovered automatically
For VLC Media Player, click “Media” and “Open Network Stream” (use your camera’s IP address if changed from the default)
- Visible: rtsp://192.168.0.99/mpeg1
- Thermal: rtsp://192.168.0.99/mpeg2
MJPEG streams can be viewed through a web browser using the following URLs (use your camera’s IP address if changed from the default):
- Visible: http://root:push2edg@192.168.0.99/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi
- Thermal: http://root:push2edg@192.168.0.99/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?ch=2
Viewing Live Video: Thermal-Only SightSensors
On the Thermal SightSensor, thermal video streams are available as MJPEG or MPEG.
MPEG streams can be viewed using a third-party media player such as the open-source VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/), ONVIF Device Manager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/), or your Video Management System.
For VLC Media Player, click “Media” and “Open Network Stream” (use your camera’s IP address if changed from the default)
- rtsp://192.168.0.99/mpeg1
For ONVIF Device Manager:
- Default ONVIF credentials: service/test1234
- SightSensors can usually be discovered automatically
MJPEG streams can be viewed through a web browser using the following URLs (use your camera’s IP address if changed from the default):
