Got a new color night vision camera from LOREX.com, unfortunately although LOREX is listed in BI, this particular model LNE4322 is not. I tried the other camera models pre-made configs, but they did not work. After some googleing, I found an MJPG strem URL that worked, /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=[CHANNEL]
But that returned a poor quality low-fps stream. After over an hour on the line with tier 2 support, I was provided this information:

To access RTSP Third Party Streaming:

  1. Using your third party software, enter the RTSP address (default: rtsp://: : @ :/cam/realmonitor?channel=&subtype=).
I am assuming : : @ : is supposed to be (at least partially) replaced with the IP address, but so far I am not having any luck getting any variation of that to work. Any suggestions appreciated. (please note the spaces in : : @ : are intentional, HTML turns part of that into a similey otherwise)

I could be wrong but I think you have a few to many ":" I believe the conversion for Lorex is // username : password @ ipaddress /blahblahblah

However, also take note Lorex has been discussed in a few threads here and RTSP support always seems to be "missing" or people are "unsure" of it's compatibility. The only thing I see referenced in other threads is jpg support and some note "RTSP" does not show available in ONVIF Device Manager or other IP/Scanning applications.

That is an exact quote from a website instructional document their tier 2 support linked me to. It looked suspiciously like it had too many ":" to me too though. I tried //admin:MYPASSWORD@192.168.0.18/cam/realmonitor?channel=&subtype=
Which did not work unfortunately.

Done

But when its done, the path is left blank, and is set to Generic, RTSP.
