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:

Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the default IP address of the network camera?
The default IP address is 192.168.1.221
2. I use a MacOS or Linux system and cannot use IP Installer to set up my camera. How can I
install the camera without that tool?
1. You will need to change the IP address of your MacOS or Linux PC so that it is in the range of
the camera's default IP address: 192.168.1.221 (network mask 255.255.255.0). For example,
you can set the IP address of your computer as 192.168.1.100 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
For information on how to manually set the IP address of your system, refer to the
documentation of the operating system you are using.
2. Then you can open the camera homepage in your Web browser and change the camera's IP
information on the Network Configuration screen of the administrator menu (see section 6.3).
3. After changing the Camera's Web Server Port from 80 to a different value, access to the
camera is no longer possible.
Whenever you change the Web server port from the standard 80 to a different value, you need to
append the port to the camera's IP address. The syntax is always http://cameraip:portnumber.
Example: When you change the Web server port to 81, the correct address would be:
http://192.168.1.221:81.
4. IP Installer does not find the camera. Why?
The camera is installed behind a PoE (Power over Ethernet) device. Remove the PoE temporarily or
set up the camera without IP Installer.
A desktop firewall application such as Norton Internet Security (NIS) is installed. Uninstall NIS or set up
the camera without IP Installer.
