Camera stream viewer (for PC)

I have 4 Hikvision cameras and have a dedicated PC running the Hikvision iVMS NVR software. I've been using the VLC media player to view the cameras one at a time from my laptop, but am looking for a light-weight stream viewing software that I can use to view 3 or 4 of the camera streams in a single tiled-view (not looking for any functionality other than to view the stream - no recording, etc).

I tried "IP Camera Viewer", but it won't recognize/display my model 2332 cameras. I tried using the 4 different Hikvision profiles that I lists and none of them are working...

Any suggestions?

Yeah, you should be able to use the VLC web plugin to view multiple cameras in a grid in Chrome or Firefox.

Here is something to get you started, though you'll have to tinker with the table layout, widths, heights, and rtsp URLs.

Save this as a .html file, edit, and open in your favorite browser.

HTML:

<html>
	<head>
		<title></title>
		<style type="text/css">
			body
			{
				background-color:black;
				margin:0;
				color: Gray;
			}
			table
			{
				border-collapse:collapse;
			}
			td
			{
				padding:0;
			}
		</style>
	</head>
	<body>
		<table>
