I have utlaent wireless IP camera. The RSTP URL of this camera works finely on VLC media and shows video captured by IP camera but while using same URL on wowza cloud stream. It can’t detect video. What can be the reasons behind this?

Astha - I recommend you submit a support ticket so we can get your specific configs and properly follow up. There could be issues with network and/or firewall settings that are preventing this from working properly.
