However VLC will not run the video.mjpg file.

Look at the camera's docs. > Newegg had these cameras on sale a while back, inexpensive "wireless internet cameras" marked Zonet. I would not recommend them to anyone. The one looking at the pasture out back is in the attic of another building and it became intermittent in March as the weather began to warm. It turned out it was overheating in an ambient a little above 80° F. It had no ventilation in the plastic case, it was effectively an oven and with the sun shining on it it kept failing, radio signal and all would go out and would not come back up until power was recycled, the ultimate in inconvenience for me. Zonet's suggestion was try and return it to Newegg! I eventually drilled vent holes in the case and added a tiny [45 mm 12vdc] fan. We have had record heat this week in Virginia, 102°, and it has not missed a beat! I suspect that it would have worked well enough most of the time if it only had some ventilation as it came from the factory. Anyway that was an interesting exercise. The camera was spec'd to work to 45°C in the Newegg data. And yes it is configured from the browser much like many other things. That part works well and I can run it at a low frame rate to preserve bandwidth on our LAN, etc. Thanks to all for the help.
