Documented address examples

Network-camera substream

rtsp://CAMERA_IP:554/sub

Replace the address and configured RTSP port; supply camera credentials.

Prepare the camera

Read the RTSP port in the camera configuration.
Choose main or sub for the stream; check the manual for any bundle-stream setting.

Model and service limits

The manual distinguishes RTSP port 554 from playback port 555. A live URL does not establish archive playback in CameraViewer.
No physical camera has been tested in CameraViewer. Manufacturer documentation does not establish app compatibility.

Your next step

Try the configured substream locally and record its codec and camera model.
