VLC Media Player is a module object that supports RTSP streaming of IP Camera and CCTV, screen playback of video devices such as webcams, and video playback.
(VLC Media Player objects are available in versions 10.3.6.21 and later.)
The VLC Media Player graphic object uses VLC ActiveX, so it can be used only when the VLC program is installed.
