13.3 Motion-JPEG Access

The MPEG4 cameras support a dual-mode streaming capability. This means that the camera can output MPEG4 and Motion-JPEG video data simultaneously. Motion-JPEG is the preferred method when using the camera with third-party video surveillance applications. It is widely supported, and is often the only image format accepted by courts, who consider MPEG4 compression too lossy.

Motion-JPEG video, on the other hand, cannot compress video data as effectively as MPEG4 does. Thus, the resulting video stream requires a higher network bandwidth.

To utilize the Motion-JPEG stream, first enable dual mode streaming in the camera's system configuration.

The Operation Mode parameter needs to be set to "Dual (MPEG4 & JPG)."

The following URL returns the Motion-JPEG stream:

NOTE: Network Camera model 550710 does not support Motion-JPEG image access.
