I’m new to Wowza. I’m testing Wowza Cloud for live streaming from Foscam and Amcrest cameras (various models), that are using DDNS. I cannot get my first Wowza stream to work. I must be providing an incorrect format for the RTSP address. Does anyone know what the format should be? Thanks

Hi JM,

The URL for the IP Cam should look something like this:

```auto
rtsp://username:password@[camera domain name or IP address]:port

```

Regards,

Alex

In my case have a use for live Amcrest IP camera but it is not working and I have gotten an error “Source stream or file could not be found or access was denied”. I have used rtsp://username:password@my ip :port
