IP camera will not connect

When I run the command preview(ipcam(http://"URL")) in the command window is does not connect and reports and error on how the camera could not connect to MATLAB and something is wrong with the URL. But when I use the web browser with the camera's URL it works. Is it a problem with the camera or the software. I have been inputting the browser's url into the matlab command window. The camera that we use is an Axis camera.

Are there certain models of camera that are incompatible or is it an issue with the IP app?

Or Should I run a script instead of a command window?

Hi,

Firstly, ensure that you have installed the necessary IP Camera support package in MATLAB. You can check this by running the command ipcamlist in the MATLAB command window. If the IP Camera support package is not installed, you will need to install it before proceeding.

If the support package is installed, the issue could be related to compatibility between the camera model and the IP Camera support package. Not all camera models are guaranteed to work with MATLAB's IP Camera support. It is recommended to check the documentation or contact the camera manufacturer to confirm compatibility with MATLAB.
