Make sure that Cameras and LRM Server are in same network. Be sure to follow Recommended Network Topology
If you know the IP address of the camera then, try opening it in a web browser and check if there is a camera login page.
If its a camera provided by LiveReach, then make sure its in same network as LiveReach Server.
Check firewall settings to ensure that they are not blocking the RTSP connection.
If the camera is on a different subnet, ensure that routing and firewall rules allow communication. Follow LRM Server Network Requirements when setting up server and cameras.
Verify that the subnet masks on both the LiveReach AI server and the camera are correctly configured. Mismatched subnet masks can prevent proper communication.
Ensure that the firewall is configured to allow traffic on the RTSP ports used by your cameras. The default RTSP port is 554, but this can vary. Check your camera documentation for the specific port.
