Ignition Vision IP Camera Viewer not recognizing MJPEG stream

I’m having issues with connecting to an MJPEG stream with the IP Camera Viewer, and I’m at a bit of a loss. The camera is telling me that it’s outputting in MJPEG, and Ignition is giving me an error that the video is not in MJPEG. Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m running Ignition version 8.1.45
This is in Vision.
I’m attempting to connect to a stream from an Opticom CC06-NB12VF3-M camera.

What I believe to be the relevant bits from the camera’s configuration:

The property window from Vision:

Error window from within ignition:

If there is anything I can add that would help, just let me know. Thanks in advance!

If you open up the url in a web browser, does the video show? Or is it the webpage for the camera with an embedded view of the camera?

That may be the issue. Copying the url over brings me to the camera’s home screen:

Going to the live view gives a much longer url that gives the same error from Ignition:

Inspecting the page source as ignition’s user manual suggests doesn’t seem to provide any cleaner url to use for the stream.

You will probably need to go back to the manufacturer to get the actual MJPEG link of the stream you want.

Thanks! That’s what I’m leaning towards. It didn’t click with me that the url I was using was to the home page and not the video stream until you asked. I’d say this is most likely the solution.

Thanks for the help!
