Use the ie ui to see if there's a snapshot or similar button to a static jpg.

View the source on the camera's http pages, something might be hidden in there.

Try some random paths in desperation.
I have been trying most of your suggestions on and off all weekend.
These are a number of calls to jpg images in the HTML code but they may all be calls to display the mouseover graphics.

I can send you the source HTML if you are of a mind to look at it. There is no great urgency but it would be nice to get it going.

I was tempted to purchase this Blue Iris software and see if it gave any clues as it seems to be able to use that camera.

I shall persevere however.

Hmm ... minor update.

I have the camera working but only at 320 x 240 res, which I think is the setting for mobile phones. It has a mobile phone view utility.

Would have been helpful if a manual had been provided. Who here is a HTML code guru 'cos I'm surely not?

EDIT: The scource path is /tmpfs/auto.jpg

This is about equal to an Axis 205.
There is writing the protocol of these cameras, but I also received - "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request"
