IP Camera Viewer

IP Camera Viewer is a lightweight and efficient piece of software that was designed to help you watch the video captured by IP cams, be it your own or public ones, for instance those overseeing traffic conditions.

Subsequent to the brief and uneventful installation process, you can launch the program and thanks to built-in address, it will begin rendering images from the cam.

The main window of IP Camera Viewer is split into two main tabs, specifically ‘Video’ and ‘Help’, the former displaying the visual images while the latter instructs you on how to change the source IP cam.

The utility only supports Motion JPEG protocol cameras, so make sure the device you want to use matches this criterion, otherwise it will not function properly.

In order to change the address of the IP camera that you are monitoring, you need to edit the BAT file in IP Camera Viewer’s installation folder, which may result in errors, particularly for novices, so it is advisable that you keep a copy of the original document, for good measure.

The information required by the batch file is fairly simple, meaning you need to indicate the IP address or the domain name for the source camera, along with the device’s MJPEG path, which will vary from one camera to the other, but should be specified in its documentation.

After saving the changes in the BAT file, you can restart the application and it should begin rendering video from your camera. However, bear in mind that IP Camera Viewer will only stream the images, and will not save them to your computer.

To summarize, IP Camera Viewer is an extremely simple yet useful application that aims to help you watch the images from your IP cam, just by entering its address or domain name, as well as the proper MJPEG path.
