Trying to get an old Cisco WVC200 IP camera up and going with Zoneminder 1.25 . When I turn on debugging, this is what I see:

I have the following settings configured for the camera:
* Source Type: Remote
* Function: Monitor
* Protocol: HTTP
* Method: Simple
* Hostname / Port: <IP Address> / 80
* Host Path: /img/mjpeg.cgi (works in browser, BTW)

Also of interesting note, when I use Chrome Developer tools and watch the HTTP response headers from the camera, it advertises its content type as image/jpeg , so i'm not sure where the application/octet stream is coming from.

Have you tried FFmpeg as a source type?

Well, ffmpeg seems to work ... kinda.

Now, for the bottom half of the video, the colors change with every frame. See one of the frames below for an example.
