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.
