Re: RTSP (VLC) and ffmpeg syntax
I recommend searching for and downloading the Amcrest HTTP API doc to learn what all the "Get" device capabilities commands are. There are a lot. I find this command to be the most useful to list the current active configurations... <ip>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name...
