For General IP Cam use (which isn’t that great):
I use the generic ipcam device handler from generic Ip cam device handler
The smart apps are by the same guy (he’s awesome) pstuart : Generic Video Camera Connect and pstuart: Generic video cam child.
Smart Tiles Working with generic IP CAMS, using secuirty spy on MAC.
FWIW, I use security spy on my mac, then I use those URLs instead of rtsp:// that doesn’t render in most browsers. I’m using some super cheap amazon cameras called Raynic Raycam X3s and A Pyle IP CAM Pip5 i think. Anyway, these urls work as snapshots every 5 seconds.
https://IPADDRESS:PORT/++image?cameraNum=0&auth=WELKJS323SJfjs=
i used base64 encoding to stop security errors for my username:password at www.base64encode.org (that’s not my real username:password shown encoded above in the url)
the IPADDRESS:PORT is from the “WEB” section of security spy preferences under “how do I access this server”, https enabled, with an account created in the bottom of the WEB preferences page in security spy. That is the username:password you need to use in the url, optionally “encoded” or simply username:password. This is for accessing IP cameras through a browser that only supply rstp using security spy as the middle man. The IPADDRESS:PORT and Username:Password for your actual camera’s won’t work with this method, only the ip:port and user:pass you created in security spy.
so yours might look like https://192.168.1.156/++image?cameraNum=0&auth=WEW83aksdf23=
