I don't know if this will be any help to anybody. This is what I do to
access my videos and view my cameras real time.
I set movie_filename %Y/%m/%d/%H:%M for each target_dir.
Apache and php make it easy to password protect and view the directories
once you have it set up.
Using a second network card without a gateway the cameras are on a closed
network.
I enable dhcpd until I set a static ip address for the cameras when they
are new.
These give me the ability to view several or a single camera with
stream_port locally.
*4 cameras on one page:*

This is the way.
