I have bought them too, you can use wireshark to sniff the rtsp stream from the camera

I don't mean to necro an old post but just to confirm, using Wireshark is exactly what I did to figure out how the app that these cameras use connect. I traced the network connectivity from my PC with Wireshark running (filtered on the IP address of the camera ip.addr == 192.168.1.213) and found these packets:

Packet 5087 seemed to be the gold... after sending that, the device starts streaming.

So I then used the following settings. My camera doesn't use a User name so I placed the password in the Password field but I honestly don't think the password is sent. If I had to wager a guess, I think the password is encoded into the URL path as part of the 3c7a15b87c6863d9ebfb29af0fa38d0f_0 value as I don't see the password on the wire and I saw no other AUTH attempt. This means I don't think these values will work for anyone else.

Also, the stream is about 1 frame every 1-2 seconds so it's not the best but it works if you just need to monitor something.

And last, only the Sub works. The Main doesn't so YMMV

Just realized the main isn't recording so changed the drop down from RTSP to HTTP and set the Make to Dahua and Model to Main Stream RTSP. I was then able to add the Main and Sub (why is Main grayed out with a Generic?) and this works to record now and no warnings:
