Good evening all,

Ive been searching this forum and around the internet trying to get my Lorex RTSP to work. I can access and view the camera I want via a VLC stream via "rtsp:/192.168.50.3:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=2&subtype=0&proto=Dahua3/trackID=0 RTSP/1.0" but am prompted for my credentials. I have tried multiple different URLs with my credentials included, but non succeed in a VLC stream.
I attempted to find the url via Onvif Device Manager, but all of my "Live Video" selections come back "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". The only way I determined the above URL was to run wireshark and view the TCP handshake while using the Lorex chrome plugin.

Thanks ahead of time,
 
Try for main stream with VLC:
Code:
rtsp:/user:password@camera-IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

No wammie, I have a couple "##" at the beginning of my password? Maybe thats messing with things. The error in vlc comes back
"Connection failed:
VLC could not connect to "admin:0"."

Could be.
BTW, insure there's 2 forward slashes ( / ) after "rstp:", as the forum software won't allow placing 2 next to each other.
