Question / Help webcam and ip camera

I am trying to set up OBS to use my webcam and an IP camera. The camera is an old Axis P3344 and although I can view it via chrome by simply pointing to its ip address and then giving the adinistrator name and password I cannot figure how to add it as a second source alongside the webcam.
Once logged in I can configure it and get this screen when I access setup:

Basic Setup
Before using the AXIS P3344 Network Camera, there are certain settings that should be made, most of which require Administrator access privileges. To quickly access these settings, use the numbered shortcuts to the left. All the settings are also available from the standard setup links in the menu.

Focus adjustment is best performed from the shortcut shown here, although the DC-Iris setting is also available from the Advanced Image settings.

Note that the only required setting is the IP address, which is set on the TCP/IP page. All other settings are optional. Please see the online help for more information.

Firmware version: 5.07
MAC address: 00:40:8C:A6:12:5A


I don't know which platform it is but I have tried the following:
Axis v5 platform

rtsp://192.168.0.93/axis-media/media.amp

rtsp://192.168.0.93/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg

Axis v4 platform (eg: 214 PTZ camera)
rtsp://192.168.1.93/mpeg4/media.amp

Axis Q1614
Axis P1354
rtsp://192.168.1.93/onvif-media/media.amp

H264

rtsp://192.168.1.93/onvif-media/media.amp?profile=profile_1_h264&sessiontimeout=60&streamtype=unicast

MJPEG

rtsp://192.168.1.93/onvif-media/media.amp?profile=profile_1_jpeg&sessiontimeout=60&streamtype=unicast

All of which just gave a blank screen when I double clicked on the source.

I have no doubt I am doing something wrong but as this is my first time for trying this I am at a loss as to what to do.
Any ideas please?

I now realise that :
Firmware version: 5.07
means it's Axis v5 platform
I had tried
rtsp://192.168.0.93/axis-media/media.amp
and
rtsp://192.168.0.93/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg
but they didn't work.
I tried it with
rtsp://adminuser:password@192.168.0.93/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg
but it still didn't work
Looking at the System options/Security/Users
there was the option to
Enable anonymous viewer login (no user name or password required)
so I enabled it and straight away it worked.
I then removed the name and password bit and it still worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i'm happy now but why it didn't work without the anonymous user bit and correct name/password string is beyond me.
