Hello!

I've got a problem when adding my camera using the universal driver in the management client.
The web client just say "Camer connection lost".
This is my setup in the settings tab:

General:
Delivery Mode = Multipart Stream
Keep alive type = Default
Retrieval Mode = Streaming

Video stream 1:
Codec = H264
Connection URI = video/flv.cgi
Frames per second = 30
RTSP Port = 554
Streaming Mode = HTTP

And this is the complete camera-URL that plays in VLC: http://admin:password@ip-address/video/flv.cgi

I've only played around with this VMS for a day so the solution might be obvious.

What firmware version is on the camera? If you have 2.xx then it will not work since D-Link removed "direct url" feature of viewing video.

I´ve got the 1.02 firmware luckily enough

Lucky...     You can only upgrade the firmware to 2.xx using the new mydlink app. If you ever use it, do NOT upgrade the firmware because there is no way back to 1.xx.

I believe you do have to have the username and password with this camera (new security standards).

Is there a way to enter that in the XProtect software? The connection URL should be similar as what is used in VLC.

Are you trying to connect remotely or locally? or both?  If remote make sure you port forward HTTP and RTSP ports in your router to the camera.
