How to change IP camera from Game source to Media source

After three years of streaming our church services to YouTube using OBS and PTZ Controls we decided to update to the current version of both apps (OBS 31.1.1 and PTZ 0.18.1 for 31.1.0). Originally (3 years ago) a technician set up our three AXIS PTZ cameras as Game source in OBS. PTZ Controls no longer supports QGamePad so with the update we lost control of the cameras. When we boot up the computer the PTZ cameras (each with their own IP address) are automatically opened on Startup in VLC media player.
in OBS I tried to add the cameras as Media source using the Input string rtsp://user:pwd@ip_address/axis-media/media.amp? Nothing from the camera - just a black screen in the Properties for the Media source.
I logged into the camera's IP address and under System/Users enabled "anonymous viewer login" and "anonymous PTZ operators". This didn't make any difference.
What am I missing?
Should I be using a different Source in OBS?
