vitamin d does not support iCamView.
I know the "stream path" should be filled because I refer web site and search sting, mjpeg and iCAMview, my IP cam.
In other hands, I found the "Blue iris" support iCAMview so that I try to install and look up if some clues in this software.
By above ways, the stream path should be fill as following:
pda.cgi?user=&password=&page=image&cam=1

But I type this configuration, Vitamin D video can not connect my IP cam.
Maybe Vitamin could not support or what?

Hi wjungle,

What exact settings are you using? If you've already tried manual configuration with pda.cgi?user=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&page=image&cam=1 then I would suggest trying the following:
Protocol: http
IP address: <whatever your camera's ip is>
http port: <blank, unless your camera is configured to use something other than 80>
Stream path: pda.cgi?page=image&cam=1
username: <your username>
password: <your password>

If you use the url you've provided and in a browser enter http://<camera ip>/pda.cgi?user=..... what do you see? page=image in the URL leads me to think this might be a static image (like a jpeg) rather than a video stream (like mpeg or mjpeg). If that is the case it will not work with VDV, we need a video stream. It might be possible that there is another parameter you can specify to access a video feed. Hope that helps.
