Simultaneous use of h.264 & mjpeg streams

[unaalw]

I have a ProHD IP2M-841W - software version: 2.420.AC00.11.R, build : 2016-01-06.

I'd like to be able to simultaneous view both the main stream using h.264 and the substream using mjpeg. However, when I have the IP2M-841 configured in this manner and then try to access the mjpeg stream using these URLS:

http: //10.0.1.4/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi
http: //10.0.1.4/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

The main stream switches to mjpeg.

So, is there a way to access the substream as mjpeg and keep the main stream as h.264?

Hi, I've managed to access the MJPEG stream but the quality seems very poor compared to the Amcrest Lite Smartphone App. Could you please let me know what URL you are using to access the H.264 stream? I'm currently using: http://username:password@ipaddress/cgi- ... /video.cgi

Hey hhhsykes, page 11 of this document https://s3.amazonaws.com/amcrest-files/ ... DK_API.pdf gives a snippet: "rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip>:<port>/cam/realmonitor?channel=<channelNo>&subtype=<typeNo>". Might be for my specific camera, but see if yours has a page like https://support.amcrest.com/hc/en-us/ar ... -IPM-721S-

I used the following: "rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip>:80/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0"

iSpy couldn't find a FFMPEG (H264) URL for my IPM-721S, but it happily accepts the above. I had extreme video quality problems when I was using MJPEG.
