How to use RTSP stream from the NVR?

From the screenshot below, I could see the port 554 is being used for RTSP, but I dont know how to use it.
I have cam0, cam1, cam2 setup in the nvr. I would like to access the RTSP stream from devices in the tailnet.

rtsp://ip/live/0/1/avm
IP is the IP of NVR, live is live broadcast, channel 0 only has live broadcast, 0 represents channel 0, 1 represents the main stream, and there is only the main stream.

Hi Clive,
Thank you for the details.
For the model (VIGI NVR1004H), the camera channels seems to start with index 1, not 0. I can confirm that the following works. Do let me know if I understand this right.
Also let me know if playback is also possible.
cam0
mainstream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/1/1/avm
substream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/1/2/avm
cam1
mainstream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/2/1/avm
substream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/2/2/avm
cam2
mainstream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/3/1/avm
substream: rtsp://<username>:<password>@<NVR_IP>/live/3/2/avm
Thanks,

Here’s how to get it working.
rtsp://<NVR IP>:554/ch<Channel number>/<main or sub>/av_stream
For example:
rtsp://192.168.0.123/ch1/main/av_stream
rtsp://192.168.0.123/ch4/sub/av_stream
