OpenCV can consume RTSP streams just as easily as MJPEG over HTTP:
The interface is a foundational component of the VAPIX API , enabling developers to request high-quality Motion JPEG (MJPEG) video streams directly from Axis network cameras via simple HTTP requests. This method remains a popular choice for web-based live views and integration with third-party software due to its universal compatibility with web browsers and minimal implementation overhead. Core URL Structure for MJPEG Streaming The stream turned to a solid grey block
If you have ever integrated an Axis network camera into a custom web dashboard, a 3rd-party video management system, or a DIY monitoring script, you have likely encountered the axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi endpoint. This Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is the backbone of Motion JPEG (MJPEG) streaming for Axis VAPIX-compatible devices .
If you want, I can generate curl commands for your specific camera IP/model or a short Node.js/Python snippet to consume the MJPEG stream. OpenCV can consume RTSP streams just as easily
Most modern HTTP libraries (like Python’s requests with auth=HTTPDigestAuth() ) support digest authentication automatically.
