Hikvision RTSP feed working in iOS app but not on browser

Configuration Frontend
1

I’ve tried to add the live feed from 4 Hikvision IP cameras to my dashboard using the Picture Entity card using the following code

type: picture-entity
entity: camera.front_1
camera_image: camera.front_1
show_state: false
aspect_ratio: 45%
camera_view: live

When I view through the browser I just get black cards with no video being displayed but if I open the app on my iPhone I see the video perfectly. If I change the camera view on the card from live to auto I do see the picture in the browser but this refreshrs every 10 seconds and not be a live feed.

Here is the config in the configuration.yaml file
