How to access the hikvision camera feed using the rtsp protocol?

On my network I have about 10 cams and I want to access the camera feed for each cam.
I am able to access the feed for one cam using the following rtsp url
"
rtsp:/<username_here>:<password_here>@192.168.0.126:554/Streaming/Channels/1001
"
The issue is I don't know what change should I make to the URL to access a different cam on the network.
192.168.0.126 is the nvr's ip

I have hikvision's cameras installed
what needs to be changed?

Ok I figured out how to change the URL to access different camera on the network. Change the number after channel to access a different cam.
for hikvision cams
rtsp:/<username_here>:<password_here>@<nvr_ip_here>:554/Streaming/Channels/<cam_number_on_network><stream_number>
01 is the main stream

You can generate rstp URL for your cam from this website: RTSP URL Generator for IP Cameras and Recorders

i hope this is helpful for someone.
