A coworker and I have been trying to view our stream on port 565, but we can't find out what the configurations are. What configurations should we use to RTSP stream our cam? Thanks in advance. 
HIKVision DS-2CD2432F Configurations?

What are you using to view the camera?
If you are using the hikvision mobile app, you need to use the media port (default 8000)
What do you mean what am I using to view the camera? I'm using a lan to link my computer to my cam with SADP and then using Mozilla FF to view the IP in the URL.
And yes it is on the default port 8000.
I'm trying to get an rtsp stream to view it in VLC. I have the correct IP address to login because I can view my other cams, just not this one.

Not worried about that for now. We've used Chrome, Mozilla, and IE. We just can't get a port open on the HueWei router.

You should be worried about that, because various methods of accessing the camera require different ports to be open. If your router is a cellular/satellite or wisp service you will not be able to forward ports unless the provider offers a true external ip for you (at a cost)...

that depends on what you are using to view the cameras remotely? Please state specifically.

you should only need to forward the rtsp port...set it back to 554 (for testing)..and forward port 554.
