How to parse mjpeg http stream from ip camera?

Question

Given below is the code written for getting live stream from an IP Camera.

from cv2 import *
from cv2 import cv
import urllib
import numpy as np
k=0
capture=         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The solution without requests or urllib: just add the user and password in the cam address, using VideoCapture, like this:

E.g.

cv2.VideoCapture('http://user:password@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/video')

using IPWebcam for android.
