I have an old cheap Linksys WVC54GCA that allows for remote viewing, however recent browsers have had occasional problems with rendering the video on the web frontend for the camera. So this is a simple guide outlining the various ways to connect to a Linksys WVC54GCA IP camera.

NOTE: This example will use 10.0.0.5 for the cameras IP address. Change it accordingly.

Web Frontend¶

• http://10.0.0.5/img/main.cgi?next_file=main.htm
  • NOTE: This method uses a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, or IE.

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)¶

• http://10.0.0.5/img/video.asf
  • NOTE: This method uses the MMS protocol to stream video to a client and works with smartphones, VLC, and mpv.

Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)¶

• rtsp://10.0.0.5:554/img/media.sav
  • NOTE: This method uses RTSP to stream video to a client and works with VLC, ffmpeg, or any other RTSP capable client.
