We always need to view the IP cameras on Linux or Mac, iPad, but we don’t want or can’t to install the surveillance software, how can we resolve this problem? Most of IP cameras support RTSP, this is a international standard video transition protocol, and most of popular video player (like VLC Media Player, Quicktime Player) support RTSP, so you can directly use these normal to connect IP camera and get the video.
We will make a sample to demo how to connect Sysvideo SC6000 series IP cameras via VLC Media Player, you can download this player from:
Step1: Start VLC Player (VideoLan) or other Player support RTSP. Open VLC Player: Start -> Programs -> VideoLan -> VLC Media Player

rtsp://IP address/:554/av_0
For example, the ip address of IP camera is 192.168.55.100, so the RTSP URL should is: rtsp://192.168.55.100:554/av_0, 554 is default port of RTSP in your IP camera, you have changed the default port in IP camera RTSP setting, you must use input a same port number.
