Mike, I used VLC, I used to use it a lot to pry open ip cameras in order to find the video stream for use with ZoneMinder. Your description is pretty much what I did. Indeed here is my process line.
1. Scan all ports with nmap. The 3 named were what I found. I did not find any TCP ports open just UDP. Port 554 did not show up, I was hoping it would. A scan with Net Cat gave the same results. So those appear to be the only ports open. I guess my next step is to give them a call and see if they can give me any info. Indeed ZoneMinder is a very good resource for camera info, but that one is not there. It has been a while since I did that sort of thing, one of the things that I found was that most of these cameras have two streams a jpg stream and a RTSP stream. Now days the published one is the RTSP port, but usually if you poke around a bit you will find the jpg stream too. I found that law enforcement likes the jpg stream, they have a lot of tools to process it.
