Info from ONVIF stream
Recently, I took a chance and purchased a Wemelody WE-EYE03W camera from Amazon, not on the list of cameras that work with SS, but has pretty good specs and was listed as ONVIF compliant. Good image & ir quality camera, but the lack of any documentation and website/support for the company leaves me less than impressed. After three days of tinkering with SS with the manual configuration, I was finally able to get this camera to work by setting the display type as "ONVIF" with the same port numbers I set in the web UI (leaving them blank worked too), and the "RTSP TCP (video and audio)" format, "RTSP over HTTP" did not work at all and "RTSP UDP" worked, but I got some screen flickering.
Now that I got it working, is there a way to find out how to set this up manually? Or, more specifically, what I should type in the "Request" box? I would like to know for scripting...
Thank you

Ok, I figured it out.. all I needed in the "Request" box was /11. For anyone interested in a decent outdoor camera with very good picture, and better than average ir illumination, I would recommend this camera. Just don't count on any support at all. Wemelody just seems to be a re-seller. Here is a link to the camera:

Hi John, great to hear you worked it out and it's now working well in SecuritySpy. For future reference, you can use "packet sniffing" software such as HTTP Scoop, which has a nice interface and is easy to use (as opposed to the big ugly but very powerful Wireshark), to reveal the ONVIF conversation between SecuritySpy and the camera in order to pick out things such as the RTSP request string.
