OpenCV IP Camera RTSP stream

Question

I'm trying to access a RTSP video stream from an IP camera using OpenCV and Java. I can access the stream using VLC player with the following format: rtsp://192.168.1.10:554/rtsp_live0 but when I try to use OpenCV the video stream seems to always be closed.

The code I'm using... (simplified)

VideoCapture capture = new VideoCapture();
capture.open("rtsp://192.168.1.10:554/rtsp_live0");
while(!capture.isOpened())
    System.out.print("Not opened :( \r");

I have a Mustcam H806P and found the stream URI from this website: http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=ipcamera

What am I doing wrong?

I'm reporting Alexander Smorkalov answer on answers.opencv.org

OpenCV uses ffmpeg library for video I/O. Try to get video stream with console ffmpeg tool. The address must be the same.
