Mounting Cameras Using the Video Stream URL Function (RTSP)

Using the video stream URL to mount a camera to the CHeKT Bridge is recommended when the standard API mounting process will not allow connection to the camera stream. We recommend using The Standard Camera Mounting Process whenever possible.
These websites can help you locate the RTSP stream information: https://security.world/rtsp or https://www.ispyconnect.com/cameras.
