Solution #1
As of May 2022:
Home>Protect>Unifi Devices>(select camera)>Settings>Advanced>(toggle which resolution you want)>and then you will get a link such as:
rtsps://192.168.1.1:7441/QxJCVMefFHfBnqrp?enableSrtp
this link will need to be modified in three ways.
- remove the second s in rtsps
- change port from 7441 to 7447
- remove (?enableSrtp)
rtsp://192.168.1.1:7447/QxJCVMefFHfBnqrp
Open VLC>Media>Open Network Stream>(paste the NEW url in the box)>Play
I had trouble figuring this out. Hopefully someone finds it useful when searching this subreddit someday.
Solution #2
/u/Jestered2303 is correct but just to add on, here’s the relevant fix:
Web UI: Generate only RTSPS links for better security. (RTSP streams are still available by removing S from RTSPS and by changing port 7441 to 7447)
