Frequently Asked Question
A common ITVDesk integration starts with a desktop or workstation screen. In ITVDesk, create a new virtual camera profile, select a media source such as Computer Screen Live / Desktop Capture, test the stream, and then add it to IPConfigure Orchid Core as an ONVIF camera or direct RTSP/RTSPS/SRT stream.
This is useful when you need to record operator screens, POS workstations, control-room desktops, applications, dashboards or other computer activity inside the same VMS/NVR system used for physical cameras.



ONVIF workflow
- Add ITVDesk as an ONVIF camera/device in Orchid Core.
- Use the ITVDesk computer IP address and ONVIF port.
- Enter credentials if ONVIF authentication is enabled.
- Confirm the device connects and live view works.
RTSP workflow
- Copy the ITVDesk RTSP or RTSPS URL.
- Add the stream in Orchid Core using the direct URL workflow.
- Confirm codec, resolution and frame rate compatibility.
Troubleshooting
- If the device is not detected, check the ITVDesk ONVIF port, IP address, firewall and network segment.
- If live view opens but video does not play, verify RTSP/RTSPS port access and codec support in the VMS/NVR.
- If authentication fails, temporarily verify the configured ONVIF username/password and then re-enable the required security level.
- Recorder menus and wording differ by firmware version, so use the vendor-specific terms as a guide rather than a fixed screen-by-screen rule.
