You have three choices (connection type) to connect to the standard IP Cameras:
JPG ( Jpeg )
MJPG ( Mjpeg )
RTSP ( h.264 / mpeg4 / ffmpeg / vlc, etc )
Note: Make sure that the selected connection type is supported by the camera !
PMPlayer provides the connection string for more than 70 popular IP Cameras,
But if your camera manufacturer ( or the camera model ) is not found in this list,
then please refer to the user manual of the intended camera, ( as the structure of -
connection URL of each camera usually is available in the camera's user manual.
Select the appropriate connection type:
If the network bandwidth is appropriate, you can use one of two connection types:
JPG ( Jpeg )
MJPG ( Mjpeg )

But at low bandwidth network you can select RTSP ( h.264/mpeg4/ffmpeg/vlc, ect ).
For example: rtsp://195.200.199.8/mpeg4/media.amp
