Most of these cameras can only be viewed either by using the proprietary software or by logging on to the manufacturer website with the credentials and most of the manufacturers do not make it easy for us to make them work.

Just try and discover the address of the streams using some tools like Wireshark, try and open the stream URL (e.g http://192.168.1.11/img/video.asf or http:///192.168.1.11/mjpeg.cgi) first in Windows Media Player or any other player to make sure it works and then add it as an Internet webcam (http://mycast.orb.com > Open Application > Control Panel > TV/Webcams > Devices) and then try again.
