Wansview K2 (720p Wireless IP Camera) Support

Question

We are looking to get images from our camera through RTSP. In our config file, we entered the rtsp address:

rtsp://admin:123456@192.168.137.110/live/ch0

We also filled in the username and password fields accordingly.

Unfortunately, we get a failed authorization. We are thinking that the input to rtsp_connect should be rtsp://username:password@IP:rtspPort/live/ch0 in order for our Wansview K2 camera to grant authorization, but it seems rtsp_connect is getting the input rtsp://IP:rtspPort/live/ch0.

We know that our RTSP url is correct because this camera was functioning well with Kerberos.io. We want to use motion because Kerberos.io is missing some key functionality we need for our project.

Can we not connect our Wansview because of support issues, or would this be a config file fix?

Thanks
