we have ELP IP 1881 camera and test with the CMS software ,Its working fine.we want to see the live streaming video of this IP camera using RTSP protocol url. I have tried in VLC by entering the URL in the media-\>Open network stream URL: rtsp://super:@192.168.0.11:554/11 here we don’t have password to the administrator of cms software user “super”.This super came directly after installing the CMS software. I have tried with admin username: rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.0.11:554/11 rtsp://admin:@192.168.0.11:554/11 rtsp://user:passwd@192.168.0.11:554/11 I have used the sub stream port number 12 also . Eg: rtsp://super:@192.168.0.11:554/12. But all the time I have seen the blank screen .I have the changed the settings in the VLC to In **Input & Codecs Settings** , in the **Network** area, change the **Live555 stream transport** option from **HTTP (default)** to **RTP over RTSP (TCP)**. ---

If your camera has a web based interface please log into it and make sure that the username and password have been set appropriately. Make sure that your camera has a static IP address so that you can always reach it. Also make sure that you are using a wired connection to the camera during initial setup. Not all RTSP cameras support using both wired and wireless connections at the same time. While the manufacturer states that your [URL is correct](http://www.elpcctv.com/elpip188-camerawhat-rtsp-address-do-i-use-with-this-camera-p-98.html), you may need to use a [different URL](http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=elp). If you are still unable to connect to your camera please consult the manufacturer for direction. ---

it can support RTSP, and it work as below style: rtsp:// 10.6.3 .57:554/user=admin&password=&channel=1&stream=0.sdp? 10.6.3.57 is device IP :554 is the RTSP port number user=admin (this is device login user name) password= (password is empty) channel=1 (first channel) stream=0.sdp？(main stream) For example: rtsp://admin:eagle3y3@132.206.149.75:554/user=admin&password=eagle3y3&channel=1&stream=0.sdp ? but some programs like the one I am using (iSpy) prefers the format rtsp://admin:eagle3y3@132.206.149.75:554/user=admin&password=eagle3y3&channel=1&stream=0.sdp ?
