NV4108 - Accessing JPG stills or MJPEG stream

Post by tb-amcrest »

Hi - I have a number of Foscam/Amcrest cameras and used to access the MJPEG stream URL directly to display on a "home dashboard" web site internally. This is a little problematic because of the limit on number of connections to the camera's HTTP server. Currently I use Zoneminder as a DVR, which pulls in the RTSP feeds and provides a URL for MJPEGs.

Now that I have an Amcrest NV4108, I would like to retire Zoneminder. While I can find a URL for RTSP access from the NV4108 for each channel, I can't find one for the MJPEG stream. Your API docs show .../snapshot.cgi?channel=1 as a valid endpoint, but nothing shows up.

Can you let me know how I can access the MJPEG stream? Plugging RTSP directly into an HTML page doesn't seem possible.

Thanks!!
