Welcome to the forum..what camera do you have?
If you know the url you can manually enter the mjpeg stream, you can select this by going to the top of the camera list.
Thanks seems like a welcoming place.
I'm using This Camera setup. I have links to video but none of them take me to a mjpeg. I'm ondering if i'm going to the wrong place if i should be trying to get to the cameras individually.
so where can i find the link? at the top of what camera list. could you send a screen capture?
Yeah the specs on those cameras say they support h264, which will be better anyway. If you can't make it work with any of the zmodo options in the camera list, then try the rtsp/h264 type at the top of the list and try URLs from here: http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Zmodo
Might help if you know what i'm trying to do. I have a Veralit and i'm trying to get the video Feed to flow through it. I have some camera's working but their links all end in either jpg or mjpg. i think i have the URL for the feed but it's not ending in the correct file type. BI is suppose to be able to make Mjpgs but i can't figure out how to do it.
