Eureka!!! If I put http://xxx.xxx.x.x/video.cgi into the url bar of Opera, Chrome and Safari, I get the video stream. If I put the same url into Explorer it wants me to download a cgi file!!! Bloody M$!!!!

It is thanks to the iCamSource software I downloaded earlier that I found this out. Shame I can't install it to my ip cam!!!

Mark - If snapshot.cgi gives you a still, then have you tried using that one as a JPEG URL? (As opposed to MJPEG)

I did think about it and using a meta refresh tag in an embedded page. At least that way Safari and Opera users can see the image. Would just be good to get the stream working for everyone.

Thanks anyway.

ok just for reference if anyone else is looking for this information I have found out that you can get the video feed below - prehaps I have a newer firmware version.

http://xx.xx.xx.xx/snapshot.cgi for snapshop

http://xx.xx.xx.xx/video.cgi for stream

Can you tel me how you found that information please? I have a similar problem with a camera also unbranded and also called IPCAM02. The cnapshot.cgi works and gives me a still, but video.cgi returns page not found. I have tried all the alternatives on this site and tried the seller's pretty hopeless tech support. UrlSnooper can't find anything either. I am wondering as it is a wireless connection, should it be plugged into the router to get this information?

Thanks
