RTSP URL generator

Choose the manufacturer, enter the camera’s IP address, and copy the RTSP URL. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.

The username and password are only used to build the VLC test link below. They stay in this page and are not sent or saved.

Do first: Activate the camera by setting the admin password on first use. If RTSP authentication is set to SHA256 only, switch back to an option that includes MD5.

Stream URL
rtsp://192.168.0.10:554/Streaming/Channels/101

Enter this in Litmus NVR (or another NVR) as the stream URL, and the username and password in their own fields.

VLC test link
rtsp://192.168.0.10:554/Streaming/Channels/101

In VLC media player, open Media > Open Network Stream and paste this to check that video plays.

How to use the address

  1. Copy the Stream URL.
  2. In Litmus NVR, add a camera, choose RTSP as the camera type and paste the URL into Stream URL.
  3. Enter the camera’s username and password in their own fields. Passwords with characters such as @ or # work there.
  4. If the camera supports ONVIF, you can skip the address: choose ONVIF and Litmus finds cameras on the same network.

If the camera does not connect

  • Check that the computer running Litmus and the camera are on the same network (router).
  • Sign in to the camera’s web page or app to confirm the username and password.
  • If you changed the camera’s RTSP port from 554, replace 554 in the address with that number.
  • To test the address, open it in VLC media player under Media > Open Network Stream. In VLC, put the account in the address: rtsp://username:password@CameraIP:554/...

Cameras without RTSP

Some home cameras have no RTSP: most Tapo and Reolink battery cameras, Reolink 4G cameras and EZVIZ video doorbells. Igloocam, Hejhome, Xiaomi and Imou do not officially document RTSP support.

Questions

Where do these address formats come from?

From each manufacturer’s official support pages, checked in September 2026. Details can vary by model and firmware.

Does this page connect to my camera?

No. Browsers cannot open RTSP streams, so this page only builds the address. Paste it into Litmus NVR or VLC to see the video.

What is the default RTSP port?

554. If you changed it in the camera settings, enter that number instead.
