Streaming Media server Connection via VLC

[hakuin]

We have a Hikvision Streaming Media Server connected to DS-9116 DVRs. Currently we can view the video footages using Hikvision Client Software. From network analysis, the rtsp URL used is: rtsp:/<STREAMING_SERVER_IP>:554/<DVR_IP>:8000EVICE_NAME:0:0/av_Stream

But when I use the url to view in VLC, I could not.
Is it possible to connect Streaming Media server via VLC or using Hikvision SDK?
If its possible to connect to DVR via VLC, what IP should I be using?

I'm not a Hikvision guy but try this with VLC for channel #1 of the DVR:

rtsp:/DVR-IP:554/PSIA/Streaming/channels/101

With credentials try:

rtsp:/DVR-username:DVR-password@DVR-IP:554/Streaming/Channels/101

NOTE: in both cases, place 2 "/" after "rtsp", as the forum software won't allow 2 consecutively.

Thanks Tony. Is there a way I can connect to streaming media server instead of DVR ? My concern is that DVR might have more connection limits than the HIKVISION streaming media server.
