I have a Reolink IP camera. I can pull up the image on my desktop computer, I can see the image on my iPhone app but not having any luck getting the image to appear in weather display. See attachment for the settings.
I tried using just the ip address and the ip address plus the port number (I would think if I’m in network I wouldn’t need port number). I have the correct user name and password.
I can’t even get a preview to work.
Any suggestions?

Can you see the image in a browser on your PC? If so what URL do you use to do that?
What model number?
It’s a RLC-410WS Here is a link from Amazon where I bought it. Amazon.com
I’m at work now but you’re saying I should be able to open a browser window with the ip address and see an image? I tried before I left for work and could not connect.
BUT, I can see the camera through Reo’s program and their iPhone app.
often the IP address contains a php code and cgi click
there are lots of threads about this, and people have managed to find what the IP address should be eventually
ok, when I load firefox I get this web address: http://192.168.1.106/NPClient.html?ipPort=9000
It actually embedded the Reolink program into the web page.
I can see the camera now. I tried to put that web address into wd but no luck
if you could port forward that IP address, and email me that, then I can experiment
I’m happy to announce I can now preview an image from my ip camera in WD now!
What got me going was a visit to my ip camera makers’ online forum. I got some script to run and magic happened!
So my advice for future people reading this is to find out the make and model of your camera and visit their forum to jump start you.
what was the format needed in the end (in case it helps others) 
Well, not working again but it did work momentarily so that made me happy.

You are missing the port number in your address.
http://192.168.1.107:9000/cgi-bin/snap.cgi?user=admin&password=xxxxxxxx
that cgi-bin and snap type URL has been shown as examples of what works in other threads about using an IP camera
