How to get images from Hikvision CCTV IP camera for image processing when they are connected with NVR using Opencv and python?

I am using two HIKVISION IP camera (DS-2CD204WFWD-I) & (DS-2CD214WFWD-I) connected with (DS-7600 Series) NVR. Now how to acess these camera using Opencv and python ?

I had already tried this method its not working and code is running and its not getting the frame. With NVR software camera is showing live streaming and in andoird app also but i am not getting any frames with python. so please help me how can i acess these camera using opencv for face recognition.

import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture()

cap.open("rtsp://yourusername:[email protected]:555/
Streaming/channels/2/")

while(True):
 # Capture frame-by-frame
    ret, frame = cap.read()

# Our operations on the frame come here
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('frame',ret)

    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

I expect both camera should be open using opencv.
