MJEG Streaming
This document gives an introduction into the use of the LCAM 408i with MJPEG streaming.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" tcp://
IPaddress
:5001 --network-caching=0
Fill in the IP address of the camera and adjust the path to vlc.exe as needed.

‘Show more options’ may have to be selected. Be sure to set caching time and IP address if not done

introduces latencies.
