Hi @...,

As a start, see this support article: LINK.

These models only support MJPEG and MPEG-4.
We do not support MPEG-4, but often you could add them as HTTP MJPEG streams.

The following URL formats are known for the older Axis cameras:
```
http://<cameraIp>/mjpg/video.mjpg
```
```
http://<cameraIp>/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi
```
```
http://<cameraIp>/jpg/image.jpg
```
```
http://<cameraIp>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi
```
More options are available, like resolution, compression settings, etc. These should be found in the older Axis API documentation.

It is recommended to add a secondary stream, after you added the primary stream, to have the benefit of adaptive scaling. Considering the load, I would set the secondary stream at around 320x240, instead of the common 640x480 resolution.

The URL could be, for example:
```
http://<cameraIp>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?camera=[channel]&resolution=widthxheight
```
The ?resolution=widthxheight parameter might apply to the other URL formats as well.

Be aware that handling MJPEG streams, do require much more resources on the server side and the client side, than the common H.26x streams.
