Before You Start
[checklist] * The GALAYOU G7 Wi-Fi camera is already available in the Wansview Cloud app * You can open the camera settings page * A username and password are ready for the Local Account setting * A preferred RTSP port between 554 and 1554 is selected * Compatible third-party viewing software is ready to add a local camera [/checklist]
Set a Local Account
Start in the Wansview Cloud app. Open the camera settings, then go to Local Application and select Local Account. Edit the username and password for the local streaming configuration.
Keep these account details consistent while completing the rest of the setup. They are part of the Local Application configuration for the camera.
[tip] Create the Local Account before selecting the RTSP stream option so the camera configuration is ready in one flow. [/tip]
Choose an RTSP Port and Stream URL
Open the RTSP page from the Local Application settings. Select the port number you want to use within the available range of 554 to 1554.
The RTSP page provides one or more live-stream URLs. Choose the stream URL you want to use and copy it before opening the third-party viewing software.
[dosdonts] Do: Choose an RTSP port within the listed range of 554 to 1554. Do: Copy one live-stream URL from the RTSP page before adding the camera to another viewer. Do: Keep the selected port and copied stream URL together during setup. Dont: Use a port number outside the available RTSP range. Dont: Continue to the third-party viewer without first copying a stream URL. [/dosdonts]
Add the Camera to iSpy
In iSpy, add the camera as a local camera. The supplied workflow uses the FFMPEG(H264) video source, then uses the copied RTSP URL as the video source address.
[step] 1. Open iSpy. 2. Select Add. 3. Choose Local Camera. 4. Select FFMPEG(H264) under Video Source. 5. Paste the copied RTSP live-stream URL. 6. Select OK. 7. Enter a name for the camera. 8. Finish the setup and confirm that the camera is added. [/step]
Select the Local Camera Source
Begin by choosing Local Camera in iSpy. Select FFMPEG(H264) as the video source so the viewer is ready to accept the copied RTSP stream URL.
Paste the Stream URL
Paste the live-stream URL copied from the RTSP page into the selected video source field. Confirm the entry with OK.
Name the Camera
Set a recognizable name for the camera in iSpy, then complete the add-camera process. The camera can be viewed in the third-party software after it has been added successfully.
Using Other Compatible Viewers
The same Local Application setup may also be relevant for compatible third-party software such as Blue Iris or IP Cam Viewer. Their add-camera screens can differ from iSpy, but the Local Account, selected RTSP port, and copied live-stream URL remain the key details from the camera configuration.
Use the controls and camera-source options shown by the third-party viewer you choose. The iSpy steps above are one example of the supplied RTSP setup flow.
