[IP]
The camera’s IP address on your network, for example 192.168.1.64.

RTSP usually runs on port 554 and HTTP on 80; if the camera’s ports were changed, use those. Model not listed? Most Empire cameras made since 2015 answer ONVIF, so auto-discovery is the quickest way in.Ask us if you are stuck.
