6 MOTION JPEG IN A BROWSER

Basic streaming from the camera to a browser can be done using the mjpg.cgi call.

Microsoft IE is not support for this function

First, configure the target video stream profile to use MJPEG encoding type. If

multiple video profiles use MJPEG, then the profile parameter should also be

included; this is discussed below.

. IE doesn’t support the server-push

implementation, so Firefox is recommended for use with mjpg.cgi. Other browsers

(e.g. Chrome) may also work.

In the browser enter the mjpg.cgi call. Substitute the camera IP/URL for <IP

ADDRESS>:

http://<IP ADDRESS>/stream/mjpg.cgi

The user will be challenged for a username and password; this is required and can’t

be disabled.

The username/password can be included with the URL avoiding the

username/password pop-up window. Use the following format (substitute root:pass

with appropriate username:password):

http://root:pass@<IP ADDRESS>/stream/mjpg.cgi

If multiple profiles are using MJPEG codec, then the profile=n parameter should be

included to specify which video stream profile to use. Substitute the stream profile

number (e.g. profile=2 for camera video profile 2) for n:

http://<IP ADDRESS>/stream/mjpg.cgi?profile=n
