I am trying to display video from a Axis M3066-V. in the IP camera Component.  
I’m using version 7.9.4  
I currently have the URL Property set to this -  
[http://10.0.0.161/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi](http://10.0.0.161/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi)?

User Authentication Property is set properly.

This URL works great from any web browser but I am still getting the “IOException: Max Buffer Size Reached” Error.  
I have been on the phone with Axis and this is the best we could come up with.  
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here’s a screen shot of an old setup that I used.

What’s your buffer size set to?

Also, have you tried reducing the image quality by specifying it in the url (VAPIX)? Obviously not a fix but a just a check to see if you can get any content showing at any frame rate/resolution.

My current value for the Property Camera Buffer Size is default of 512,000.

The camera’s resolution was set to 2304x1728 (4:3)

I did as you recommended and changed it to 1920x1080 (16:9) and the image was displayed.  
Thank you for your help, this appears to be working.

PS - I would like to note that the image was properly displayed at all the following Camera resolution settings.  
1280 x 960 (4:3)  
1024 x 768 (4:3)  
800 x 600 (4:4)  
640 x 480 (4:3)  
320 x 240 (4:3)  
1920 x 1080 (16:9)  
1280 x 720 (16:9)  
1024 x 576 (16:9)  
640 x 360 (16:9)
