I love the IP camera component, but some of our newer cameras are running over a wireless mesh network and the mjpeg bw is just too high. In h.264 mode it isn’t an issue.

So, H.264 support would be awesome 😃

this is somewhat unrelated but…

I just figured out that you can drive Axis PTZ cameras using Http commands… very cool! Now we don’t have to jump to another website to drive the PTZ but can do it from Ignition.
