How to use Hikvision camera with digest authentication

[tomm1ed]

Trying to use a Hikvision cam as source, but unsure how to add successfully:
Set Address to username:password@[IP]:554/Streaming/Channels/2
Protocol RTSP
Transport TCP

When clicking Apply I just see 'Applying...' and nothing else happens. I don't see the user logged in on the camera, heck netstat does not even show me a connection. What is the correct syntax of adding a cam which requires digest auth to Birdcage?

Also tried using the api on port 7007 but that just returns

401
Undocumented
	

Error: UNAUTHORIZED
Response body

{
  "msg": "Missing Authorization Header"

Restarted the docker and now the log is spammed with:

birdcage_backend_1   |  stderr: username:password@IP:554/Streaming/Channels/2: Protocol not found
