WIFI IP Camera

Hi to all
I have seen this discussion and I have a question. As a matter of fact I was never able to connect an Ip camera with any software, to get the video stream. With other languages, on desktops, somebody suggest to use OpenCV (and "hope" that it connects). As I said, I was not able to do it. The story is that, some years ago, i bought an ip camera. At that time I had a router in my house, therefore I had a local network, so the camera had a local Ip and everything worked, but, as i said, only with the manufacturer App. Nevertheless, I was not able to capture the video stream for my purposes. Now I don't have that router anymore and nothing works. What I read here surprises me a little. Do I understand well: is it so straightforward to connect to the camera? At the moment I don't know how, but if it is possible, I hope to find the way. Thanks in advance for any hint.

Magma: the basic problem is to have access to the camera, as you pointed out. This is my problem, decoding Mjpeg etc.is a further step. To be sincere, after changing the router, no other software, included the manufacturer App, connects. Of course I scanned the Qr code etc. I argue that the camera stored old Ip after first installation. Probably I have to reset the camera. I didn't do it because, when I tried, I had no access to the factory reset button. Thanks for hints.
