In older IP cameras (Axis, Panasonic, Sony, etc.), SHTML was used to dynamically inject live video streams, camera controls, or status information into a web page.
Modern browsers have dropped NPAPI plugins (Silverlight, Java, ActiveX). Some SHTML pages were written to serve a simple JPEG stream (via #exec or #include ) that works without plugins. Finding the correct SHTML file can give you a usable interface. view index shtml camera top
