OK, on my firmware for Hikvsion DS-2CD2032-I there is an tab “Konfiguration” with a subtab “Authentifizierung”. There are two fields, one for RTSP and one for Web, both set to “basic”.

OK, it’s a pitty, but let’s work on it. If you wanna do, you can send me links to your cam (plus name:pwd for guest account) to “foto fabritz @ gmail. com” (delete all spaces).
Second, remember, that the auth code is case sensitive.
Third, in your example there is an slash missing between picture?auth. Must be …picture/?auth… as far as i know.
Fourth, did you check the link in pure browser, copying the complete code to the adress bar of your brouwser?
Fifth, there are three versions of givin the name:password to the cam:
a) https://name:[email protected]/channels….
b) https://ip.port/channels…html?name=user&pwd=password
c) The auth-Code version described above.
I found it here: https://knx-user-forum.de/forum/supportforen/smarthome-py/1030144-python-urllib-f%C3%BCr-kamera-mit-username-passwort-hikvision
Six: There is an setting inside the cam-firmware regarding on basic authethifacation or something like that. Unfortunatly, I can’t look inside my camera, because the one ist on the tower of the church meanwhile, but not working (by fault of the router…)! So I have to step up there to have a look on it to get the router & cam working. After checking this, I will give you another hint here.
Good luck, Klaus

Hi Pakka and other readers,
thats quite a funny timing! Untill yesterday, I was searching a solution for just the same problem: I am using a Hikvision camera which always asked for username and passwort… After hours of web research, I found a working solution for my cam in another forum. The solution is to add the username:password as BASE64 coded string. For my camera, it’s
[webcam url=”https://fotofabritz.ddns.net:85/streaming/channels/1/picture/?auth=R2FzdDpnYXN0cHc=” refresh=”60″ alt=”Bild der Kirchturm-Kamera”]

The sheme is https://IP/streaming/channels/1/picture/?auth=XXXX

So, in my case the part after auth= is standing for Gast:gastpw as username:password in Base64 encoding (online encoding can be easely found in the web). I made a special user called “Gast” with password “gastpw” with lower admittance on the cam.
Next days, the cam will be installed on a church. Hope this will work for you as well!

Greetings from Germany,Klaus

Same problem at my site, too.
Camera-pic can be seen, I found a workaround for username and passwort.
But refresh doen’t work.
Any help would follow a big “thank you”!
