The solution is a little complicated.
For authentication I used the idHTTP control. The problem is that the cam
response is a stream that never ends, so the "Get" method never returns. To
be able to parse the response I had to overwrite the "TMemoryStream" class
overriding the "Write" method. Within that method is where you have to parse
the buffer to catch the frames.
Another very important detail is that to be able to close the reception, the
only way I found was raising an exception which let you leave the "Get"
method.
Finally, depending on how your application is working, keep in mind that you
have to refresh your application screen.
Anyway, if you want a simpler solution with lower performance, you can get
the frames from the cam using the cgi "/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi" (read the
documentation from Axis).
Hope this help you

make this but I don't understand how to use that component togheter to
accomplish this work.
