I have just acquired a (free) Axiz 207 camera.  It appears to work OK

as its web server runs and I can access all the settings etc.

However I have a fundamental problem, I can't view the images it's

sending.  I think this may be because it uses RTSP to send images.

I tried one RTSP viewer (Gardinal's) but that failed miserably.

I'm not really very clear how it's all supposed to work, I can't get

any plain RTSP:// URLs from the camera, the only URL I have seen so

far is:-

    rtsptextrtsp://dummyurl/mpeg4/media.amp

Can anyone help, with a program that will understand what the camera

is outputting?

I had an RTSP camera. I got it working in a program called ZoneMinder.

My replacement, an Amcrest POE camera, works fine using

smplayer rtsp://admin:<password>@192.168.1.24
