This page describe things what you can or cannot do with VLC.

VLC is easy to install on Windows (r), OS X or GNU/Linux. run the same way and do same things on all those platform.

Another interesting thing in VLC is the plugins architecture and the AJAX web interface.

Plugins can be used for example for digital zoom, transcoding, mosaic with 4,6,9,16,... cameras, realtime processing, ...

The first thing you would know about is what without a special patch what has to be done VLC will _NOT_ be able to play the full resolution. 1290x960 work fine for me.

so the first basic thing you can do with VLC is to play both unicast or multicast stream from the camera.

just lunch: vlc rtsp://192.168.0.9:554

Replace 192.168.0.9 with the IP address of your camera if different.

I will later add more tips on VLC here. Please fill free also to add interesting things.
