RTI XP Drivers

Professional two-way IP control drivers for RTI integration systems. Licensed per processor MAC address.

Dahua NVR RTI Driver

$129 AUD per processor · Version 2.12 · 120-minute free trial · RTI XP processors

Local control of Dahua NVRs over the native CGI API - up to 16 channels with live RTSP, snapshots, PTZ, recording and motion events, plus the Dynamic Camera Feed template and a Discover Cameras tool. No cloud or API key required. Please try the free trial to confirm your model before buying.

Control Dahua network video recorders directly over your local network. The driver speaks the NVR's native CGI/HTTP API with Digest authentication - no cloud, no third-party bridge - for fast, reliable, fully local two-way control.

Built around RTI's native Dynamic Camera Feed page template (Elegance theme): a large live feed with the current-camera name header, Previous / Cycle / Next, a Camera 1-N selector strip with the active camera highlighted, a Refresh button, and full PTZ controls (continuous, jog, zoom, home and a PTZ overlay) - it all auto-programs onto the template. A right-click Discover Cameras tool reads the cameras connected to your NVR and fills in editable per-camera Name fields; your chosen names appear on the buttons and throughout the driver.

Supports up to 16 camera channels with live RTSP streams (main and sub), JPEG snapshots, PTZ control with presets, per-channel recording, and real-time motion and alarm events. A built-in browse menu, automatic snapshot rotation, and automatic channel-count detection make it quick to drop onto any RTI panel. Every camera's RTSP and snapshot URLs are exposed as Image/Feed variables you can bind to a single shared panel layout.

A 120-minute trial is included for evaluation; a per-processor licence key unlocks unlimited use.

Please note: this driver has so far been tested on a single Dahua NVR. Dahua NVRs vary by model and firmware, so we strongly recommend using the free 120-minute trial to confirm the driver works with your specific NVR before purchasing.

Introduction

Dahua NVR Control Driver for RTI XP processors, by Smart Home Programming and Automation.

Controls Dahua NVR/IP cameras via HTTP CGI API with Digest authentication.

Supports up to 16 camera channels with RTSP streaming, PTZ control, motion detection events, on-board smart motion (human/vehicle), recording control, and camera online/offline detection.

Driver Features

RTSP Streaming (Feed Variables)

Dahua RTSP URL format:

Main stream: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=N&subtype=0

Sub stream: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=N&subtype=1

Per-camera feed variables are available in the Integration Designer Feed picker:

Use these variables with RTI's built-in RTSP video command for live video display.

Camera Snapshots (Image Variables)

Per-camera snapshot variables are available in the Integration Designer Image picker:

Dahua recorders use Digest login. Whether a panel can do that from an image link varies (iPad apps refuse passwords inside image links outright), so since v2.11 the processor fetches each snapshot and serves it to the panels itself. These variables point at the processor (http://processor-IP:9084/snap/...) and the recorder password no longer appears in any variable.

Snapshot Rotation

When enabled, the driver automatically cycles through snapshots from all connected cameras.

Only cameras confirmed online by the NVR are included in the rotation.

Use RotatingRTSP/RotatingRTSPSub with RTI's built-in RTSP video command to cycle live streams.

Configure the rotation interval (3-60 seconds) in the Snapshot Rotation config category.

Camera Online/Offline Status

The driver detects connected cameras from the NVR's RemoteDevice configuration.

Only cameras with a valid device type and IP address are marked as online.

CamNOnline boolean variables indicate whether each camera is connected.

VIDEO_LOSS events fire when a camera goes offline during operation.

Camera IP addresses and model names are also available (CamNIP, CamNModel).

PTZ Control

Supports Pan/Tilt/Zoom and up to 32 presets per camera. Speed is configurable (1-7).

Motion Detection Events

The driver subscribes to the NVR event stream and fires events for:
