Hey there I am looking for an application to view our IP camera. We have a web interface, but it sucks and takes forever to load. I know there are several Windows options available, many of them even free. I have not had any luck finding one for Ubuntu though.
To be clear, this is not for a webcam, but rather a wireless IP camera. Also, I am not looking for a recording server, just a handy viewer.
Thanks!

Long story short put
in a text file and name it security.asp and open it with vlc.
5VLC has been the easiest way I've found for my super-cheap noname camera. I use the option to view a "Network Stream" and enter the feed URL for my camera. NOTE: This is NOT the web interface page to your camera.
Use this method to determine the URL for your video feed:
- Pull up the web interface for viewing the camera image/video
- Use the "View page source" option in your browser (usually available via right mouse button, anywhere on the page)
- Search the page source for "rtsp" (Real Time Streaming Protocol) URLs
My URL looks like this, but YOURS MAY BE DIFFERENT!
rtsp://username:password@ip_addr/live0.264If you don't want to hardcode your credentials in the URL, you can omit them and VLC will prompt you for them.
Hope this will be help
I have my Ipcams set to view in CCTV plugin available in google chrome browser. I use Foscams. single click you have all of them.
different camera vendors have different formats for the rtsp links. There is no common format for the rtsp link and depends on your hardware manufacturers. But the basic requirements remains the same
Camera IP address
Username
Password
Following link has most of formats covered
