: The standard directory and script for Axis IP cameras to deliver live MJPEG video. Use Access Control Lists (ACLs) to restrict access
When a client requests http://<camera-ip>/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi , the Axis camera responds with the live MJPEG stream. Developers can also customize the stream by appending parameters to the URL. For example, http://<camera-ip>/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480&compression=30 could request a specific resolution and quality. Other parameters available include: inurl axis cgi mjpg motion jpeg upd
Older firmware versions or poorly configured devices allow anyone to view the stream ( motion.cgi ) without prompting for a username or password.
