ONVIF: A plug-and-play solution with plug-in support for major IP camera brands and some network.
Cloud Gateway: Provides ONVIF Uplink code as a Docker image for x64 and arm64 architectures, compatible with Linux and Windows environments.
In all cases, there are the same requirements for the camera:
ONVIF user should be created on the camera side and used for connection. This is relevant for cameras with a list of ONVIF users separate from camera users (Axis, Dahua, Hikvision). Please create an ONVIF user with operator or administrator rights. If the camera doesn’t have the list of ONVIF users, please use the regular admin user.
The camera should have an H.264 streaming profile. If the camera has only one streaming profile, please make sure it is set to H.264 encoding. If the camera has a separate list of ONVIF profiles, make sure that there is at least one that uses H.264.
Follow these steps to add your IP cameras:
Ensure Camera Compatibility: Confirm your IP camera supports the ONVIF network protocol by checking ONVIF's conformant product list. Most modern cameras are compatible.
Connect Your Camera: Plug your camera into your network via Ethernet or connect it to Wi-Fi according to the camera’s setup instructions.
Log In to Your Account: Go to the Record Cloud Login page and enter your username and password.
Access Camera Management: Once logged in, click on “Cameras” on the left side of your dashboard to open the camera management section.
Add a New Camera: Click the “Add Cameras” button in the top right corner of the “Cameras” section.
Enter Camera Details:
IP Address: Input the IP address of your router where the camera is connected.
HTTP Port: Enter the HTTP port number for your camera.
RTSP Port: Enter the RTSP port number for your camera.
Username: Provide the username used to access your camera.
Password: Enter the password associated with your camera.

Via bridge: Adding Cameras to Gateway
Cloud Gateway is a software solution that runs on an on-premise computer and proxies local cameras in the network via ONVIF Uplink to the Cloud. Prior to adding camera to the gateway, make sure installation on GL.iNET router is complete.
Make sure that the Gateway is connected and online. You should be able to access the Web UI through Cloud One.
Click on the Gateway in the Gateways list and then select "Add Camera to Gateway" in the top right corner of the page.
Fill out the camera form with the camera’s information, including: local IP of camera that should be accessible in the same network as the router, http port (usually 80), rtsp port (usually 554), username, password.
Click "Add Camera" and the camera should appear online if all the information is correctly set.
