Tip: rtsp address for D-Link DCS-8010LH

I was trying to do some OpenCV R&D using the D-Link DCS-8010LH camera and in order to connect to the camera I need the rtsp address for real time streaming from the camera.
The manual for the camera does specify that it supports rtsp but did not mention specifically how to do so.
I used the following address to locate and connect to the camera.
video = cv2.VideoCapture('rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.0.129:554/stream2')
My camera default username and password is admin. Many people were not able to search for the related information for this model of camera and hopefully with this info, anyone reading this will benefit from it.
