A network stream address to try in VLC.

I think @alastairstevenson means what was in my post #17above.Thanks. I'm fairly new to using this forum, so I don't know all the functions, but is there an easy way to find the post you referenced? I just scanned 7 pages of his posts (from his profile) and none are obviously about VLC. Is there a way to search for author + topic?
rtsp:/Camera-IP:554/Streaming/Channels/102
Sorry, I had misunderstood your earlier post to suggest that he had posted (somewhere on the forums) something about using VLC to test cameras. Now I understand that you were suggesting that I try VLC, but pointing to the stream that he had referenced. So, I did as you suggested. VLC works fine with "1" or "101", giving me the main stream, and works with "2" and "102" to give the substream. However, it does *not* work via BI with the exact same path ("2" or "102").It's post #17, 4 up from here.

Wow, I came in late, didn't refresh my browser after supper.Sorry, I had misunderstood your earlier post to suggest that he had posted (somewhere on the forums) something about using VLC to test cameras.

the full video>configuration tab, that is the only relevant tab to this issue.Can you tell me which settings you want me to post (or if there is a way to simply export them all to show what you want to see)?
As I wrote above, without changing any setting other than "Path":
/Streaming/Channels/1 <<< works, giving me a view of the main stream
/Streaming/Channels/2 <<< fails, with "No Signal"
Simply changing the "2" back to a "1" works again (main channel).
Yes ... no differenceHave you tried changing the camera to 2 instead of the default 1, leaving the path at default.

If you want to do a teamviewer session I can get it running for youI have no idea as to why my post doesn't show my configuration page, but I will try again:

Mike, that is exactly the way I had it originally (as the "Inspect" process left it, though I then edited the "102" in). That fails exactly as it does when forcing "rtsp" as in the screen image I included.Anyway, here are the settings on how to use IPCT / Hikvision cameras substream with Blue Iris.
- Set the address drop down to "http://"
- For the address put 192.168.1.182 (assuming the http port is port 80, otherwise trail with : PORT. Also assuming RTSP is default 554)
- For Make, select "Generic/ONVIF", for model put "RTSP H.264/H.265/MJPG/MPEG4".
- For path, put "/Streaming/Channels/102"
I am happy to get a teamviewer session going, if that is how you can assist in this! At the moment, I am at the lake house (where the camera is), and not at home (where BI is installed). So, if you set up teamviewer to my laptop (the one I am using now), it would be easy to see that VLC isn't working to the camera (channel 2). To me, that seems the starting point before working directly on BI, but that would be up to your direction. If you want to see/access BI server, we can do that through an RDP session from this laptop to the PC running BI.If you want to do a teamviewer session I can get it running for you
Download and install Teamviewer, one of us will help you. I'll be up for a while, too.I am happy to get a teamviewer session going, if that is how you can assist in this!

Tell me how we get this going. Should I give you my phone#?
