Does it need to be RTSP or can it be RTMP?

[jnoring]

It needs to be RTSP; our cameras don't support RTMP.

If I am able to get any other programs working as well, would people want those instructions posted as well?

[jnoring]

Sure, go for it.  I know we also work with Quicktime and a few other players.

I've tried the settings on evocam for mac and haven't had any luck.  Any suggestions ?

Jim,

Does VLC work?

Is your network secured?  If so, you'll need to supply credentials.  Username should be admin, password would be the password you used when you set the security key in Commander.

Does opening a stream in VLC interfere with the motion/recording done via the commander software?
