Getting MJPEG streams

• Disable RTSP
• Disable Audio Codec
• Point your monitor to a "remote" "simple" source to an "http" server at your camera's ip address with /video.mjpg path, match width & height to whatever you choose at the "MJPEG" configuration page in the camera settings, use 24 for color depth.

Tested working fine with viewer authentication enabled (put <user>:<password>@<camera-ip> in server address) & disabled and with uPnP enabled & disabled.

Worked fine over wifi at maximum resolution and color depth allowed by the camera in of 640x480@24bpp@30fps, on fixed "excelent" quality.

Getting MPEG streams

• Enable RTSP in the camera (leaving the default RTSP port of 554, otherwise modify appropriately the following steps' URLs)
• Point your monitor to an ffmpeg source to rtsp://<camera-ip>/video.mp4 to get the stream configured as the MPEG4 "Computer View" in your camera, so you must match width & height to whatever you configure there, and set 24 for color depth or...
• Point your monitor to an ffmpeg source to rtsp://<camera-ip>/video.3gp to get the stream configured as the MPEG4 "Mobile View" in your camera, so you must match width & height to whatever you configure there, and set 24 for color depth.

Tested working fine with audio codec enabled & disabled, with multicast streaming enabled & disabled, with viewer authentication enabled (put rtsp://<user>:<password>@<camera-ip>/... in above URLs) & disabled and with uPnP enabled & disabled.

In both cases worked fine over wifi at maximum resolutions and color depths allowed by the camera in each case (640x480x24bppx30fps, on fixed "excelent" quality on "Computer View"'s mp4 and 320x240x24bppx10fps, on fixed "excelent" quality on "Mobile View"'s 3gp streams).

The side effect is that MJPEG stream is disabled when you enable RTSP for accessing MPEG streams, so you can't do both at the same time.
