Does anyone know the RTSP URL for the Acti A42 zoom bullet cam? I can get rtsp://user:pass@i_address:7070/track1 via xsplit on a local machine, but not across a network via wowza. Not finding a whole lot of documentation on the camera, period.
Thanks! Going major brand next time…
RTSP uses RTP/UDP for data transport. To debug any network issues you should run either WireShark or tcpdump on your Wowza Streaming Engine Server and make sure that you see UDP packets flowing inbound when connecting to your camera. More information regarding ports can be found here:

If your camera supports it you may want to switch the transport mode to from UDP to TCP.

With regards to RTSP URLs for RTSP based cameras, you can find a huge list over at Solertec. I did not find the URL for your specific camera there.

I hope that helps.
Thanks - that was very helpful!
