V380 Pro Activate ONVIF/RTSP
[CONST_PARAM]
rtsp = 1 ; RTSPЭ�飬0���ر� 1������
V380 Pro cameras have rtsp/onvif disabled by default. This can be unlocked by inserting an SD-card into the camera.
A step-by-step guide can be found below:
1) Download the V380 Pro app from the App Store or Google Play
2) Register or continue without registering
3) Boot your camera and couple it to the application
4) Set a custom username and password for your camera
5) Download the 'ceshi.ini' file and put it on the root of a micro SD card (so not in a subfolder)
6) Power down the camera, insert the SD card and boot the camera
7) The camera will talk in chinese, wait for 5 minutes (probably shorter, but to be sure)
8) Power down the camera, remove the SD card, delete the file and power up the camera
9) Connect to your camera using the protocol rtsp://username:password@ipaddress:554/live/ch00_0
10) DONE
A great way to test is downloading/using VLC and opening a network stream.

@popilirol There won't be any new menus or configuration on the settings menu after doing the mentioned steps but it will open up the RTSP feed so you can access the stream, only problem is it won't have a password I think there is option to set that too but in my case I'm writing the stream to Disk using Raspberry Pi everything is local so no problem with credentials.

Try this
create the ceshi.ini with

[CONST_PARAM]
rtsp = 1
rtsp_enable = 1
rtsp_ctrl = 1

Insert into camera power on it will speak something in Chinese after few min turn off the camera remove the SD card delete the ceshi.ini file and insert back to camera and power on it may ask for re-pair again with mobile device.

then try to access the stream like below

rtsp://192.168.1.108:554/live/ch00_1

from VLC you can test it out , It should work

Jobin, thanks for your reply. I tried VLC and ODM, and I tried all URLs:
rtsp://username:password@IPaddress:554/live/ch00_0
rtsp://username:password@IPaddress:554/live/ch00_1
rtsp://username:password@IPaddress:554/11
rtsp://username:password@IPaddress:554
rtsp://IPaddress:554

I managed to add a custom username and password from the menu, but none of these could allow the camera to stream.

P.S. Today V380 replied to me and told me that my model does not support RTSP/ONVIF. This sucks because I hate the V380 app because it is so limited and basic, and I already have purchased in the past Blue Iris, an amazing piece of software for managing all kinds of IP cameras.
