Am I really out of luck?

[Slother]

I have a number of AXIS M1114 cameras that were not cheap. I hadn't used them in a few years and now am trying to set them up again. AXIS documentation says they stopped supporting them back in 2020, and now, even with the latest firmware update, I can't seem to make them work with any IP camera viewer.

Am I missing something? Are these cameras really good for nothing now?

Axis EOL'ing the cams doesn't mean that you can't use them. Looks like they do have an RTSP stream:

Axis

1114

rtsp:/IPADDRESS/onvif-media/media.amp

Yes

Hi @Slother

AXIS M1114 camera .. if they still run, and you can access their config ... data sheet states they meet ONVIF specs, so should be able to get the RTSP feed out ..

of course, they are dated HW and I'd consider something better if you need useful ID images .. of course it depends on your wants and needs from this cameras.

That has to be one of the worst LUX ratings I have seen in quite some time.

You could try the URL's as suggested by @Mike A above also with VLC.
And here's an additional one below it to try if no joy from Mike A's:

rtsp:/username:password@Camera-IP:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=640x480

or

rtsp:/username:password@Camera-IP:554/onvif-media/media.amp

Be sure to put 2 "/" before "username" as forum software won't display 2 consecutively here.

Thank you all! The code @TonyR shared worked perfectly. You all are awesome!
