Imou Ranger 2C (IPC-K2ECP-3H3W)

Before you start

• The camera paired once in the Imou Life app (initial pairing goes through the app; there is no out-of-app setup).
• The SAFETY CODE printed on the label under the camera: it is the RTSP stream password, not the Imou account one.
• The camera's local IP address, ideally reserved on your router.
• The local stream enabled in the app if your firmware offers the option.

Steps

1. In Noviscan's Sources screen, search for "Ranger 2C" (or "Imou") and select the model: the form is pre-filled (port 554, Dahua path, user admin).
2. Enter the camera's IP address.
3. For the password, use the SAFETY CODE from the label — the username stays "admin".
4. Keep the path /cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 for the main stream; subtype=1 gives the lighter sub-stream.
5. Save: the source tests the connection.

If something goes wrong

• Authentication refused: use the safety code from the label, not the Imou Life account password.
• No stream despite correct credentials: some Imou firmwares disable RTSP by default — check the option in the app.
• Motorised camera moving and cutting the stream: auto-tracking can briefly interrupt RTSP. Turn it off in the app if the cuts disturb analysis.
• RTSP path refused: these paths are community-documented (Dahua firmware), not from an official Imou notice — try the subtype=1 sub-stream.
