Video playback

Video playback

Pick the path that matches the player. Parameter tables stay on the method pages.

Module index: Device live. Guide: Cloud live from an AppId.

Cloud recording

Query and open clips under Cloud storage. Package ids: Cloud storage packages (strategyId). One clip from an alarm: queryCloudRecordByToken (cloudToken).

ImouPlayer playback uses getKitToken type 2 and recordType cloud. See Integrate the light application.

This page does not describe moving a local file into cloud storage as a separate product.

Local recording

Local file list, bitmap, and count stay on leftover HTTP under Legacy local record. New integrations should prefer cloud and SDK playback first — not a blanket v2 replacement. ImouPlayer can set recordType localRecord or nvrDisk with type 2.

Talk and snapshot

  • Talk: client SDK or ImouPlayer. Sub-account needs Talk. See Build a mobile app and JavaScript development.
  • Snapshot: setDeviceSnap or setDeviceSnapEnhanced on the main device path.

Media security

Decrypt keys and the Image Decryption Demo: Media security. Live URLs are secrets.
