Hi,

The DESCRIBE answer 404 indicate the server does not know the rtsp url. Maybe you should url encode characters in your password ?

Best Regards, Michel.

After doing some troubleshooting, I've discovered the issue did have to do with URL encoding, just not the password. My password does contain special characters but I had already escaped those. What I discovered was that the '&' in the URL was causing issues. After replacing this with '%26', it works perfectly. For future reference, the URL you should use for Amcrest cameras is:

rtsp://user:pass@ipaddr:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1%26subtype=0
