Long story short put

Solution 2:

VLC has been the easiest way I've found for my super-cheap noname camera. I use the option to view a "Network Stream" and enter the feed URL for my camera. NOTE: This is NOT the web interface page to your camera.

Use this method to determine the URL for your video feed:

  • Pull up the web interface for viewing the camera image/video
  • Use the "View page source" option in your browser (usually available via right mouse button, anywhere on the page)
  • Search the page source for "rtsp" (Real Time Streaming Protocol) URLs

My URL looks like this, but YOURS MAY BE DIFFERENT!

rtsp://username:password@ip_addr/live0.264

If you don't want to hardcode your credentials in the URL, you can omit them and VLC will prompt you for them.
