2. watch: player GUI / command line

To watch the video stream with MPlayer or VLC open the rtsp://192.168.0.9:554. You can use either a player GUI or a command line. Here is an example command from Linux terminal window: 

mplayer  rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -vo x11 -zoom

vlc rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -V x11

3. record: command line

mencoder rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -ovc copy -fps <fps> -o <file_name>.mov

where 
<fps>        - approximate value of the frame frequency (this parameter is mandatory); 
<file_name>.mov - the name of an output file

or 

vlc rtsp://192.168.0.9:554 -V x11 --sout file/ogg:<file_name>.mov
