Request the specific URL or link to access the camera's RTSP stream
Perform a web search: Try a web search using relevant search terms such as the camera manufacturer's name, model number, and keywords like "RTSP URL" or "RTSP link". For example, searching for "Reolink E1 Pro RTSP URL" should provide you with the main RTSP URL for that camera - "rtsp://admin:111111@192.168.1.2:554//h264Preview_01_main".
Customize your URL: Once you've found the camera's default URL, customize it to your specific needs.
Find your camera's internal IP address through it's app or check your firewall/router's DHCP table.
Setup your Firewall/Router: Redirect external requests coming outside your network so they can reach your camera's IP.
