@Dashrender almost every camera that I’ve ever worked with simply provides a web interface or RTSP feed that whatever is going to view it whether it’s a server that’s going to record or a person directly browsing simply goes to that URL and port to view the feed.
Thanks - I've never used one yet..
Doing it in any other fashion over complicates the camera. It would require the camera to have logic to communicate with the server and all this stuff that it does not need. Right now the cameras just have a very simple light HTTP server to serve a RTSP feed.

That's cool/good. removes any issues with the EULA, at least for receiving the RTSP feeds. And as I already stated, the sending out of feeds to other clients should all be fine as well, because, if I read the OP correctly - they are just sent out over a webpage connection - which the EULA allows.

Same here, including Axis.

Requiring the server to "pull" data from a constantly running camera would be really weird conceptually. Think of it like a radio station that is always broadcasting. How weird would it be if each radio had to check in and "request" the broadcast go to them, even though it was already broadcasting.

In a routed situation - isn't that exactly what has to happen? or is this only usable in a broadcast domain? serious question.

Of course not. It is no different than how you watch a stream from YouTube or Netflix.

Its' not using Ethernet broadcasts, it's just making the broadcast available. Like a web page. In fact, it IS a web page. That it is video on the web page is actually not a factor. Axis cameras, like many, are just using a basic web server that you can view.

So, the only thing now, would be if he is accessing a web interface (or similar) on the Windows 10 system from another device, like a smartphone app. Wouldn't that be a EULA issue?

no - web based access (iis) is allowed in the EULA

Just as an update to this thread, I upgraded the host to an i9 9900 CPU (8c/16t). There is now plenty of horsepower to chew through the H.264 decoding without having to use Quick Sync.
I'm happy I was able to keep it virtualized. I've been playing with XCP-NG and blown away how easy it is to use. I think I've found my new love...

That's awesome. Wow that cpu on amazon cost $484.99.

It wasn’t cheap. But the host needed an upgrade, I was rocking an old 2 core i3 Ivy Bridge. It was time for an overhaul.
