Generic Motion JPEG camera

Most of the network cameras provide single frame access. If you can't find your network camera in the selection box, and you find your camera provides generic JPEG frame access on the documentation, you can select Generic Motion JPEG camera mode. E.g. Axis network cameras provide http://camera_ip_address:port_number/jpg/image.jpg to access the most recent image frame. You can input the IP address and port number, and in JPEG Path field, put in "jpg/image.jpg" (without quotation). You can also use Generic Motion JPEG mode with Webcam Watchdog, Webcam WatchdogX or even with another NetCamCenter. To find the JPEG Path of your Webcam WatchdogX camera, select Setup, Web access tab, you can find the JPEG filename there.
