What is this URL type called?

http://admin: 123456@192.168.1.178 /videostream.cgi

I did not know that the username and password can be set directly in the URL. How it works? Is this standard? What search terms should I use to learn more about this?

This is the standard way to provide login credentials for the URL, so you do not need to request them.

admin is the username, 123456 is the password. The host name is 192.168.1.178 , as usual. You connect via the http protocol, so HTTP authentication is used to access the script.

This is part of the authority of the URI scheme defined by RFC3986.

This is a regular url. See here for the URL syntax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator#Syntax
