is a video compression format where each video frame is compressed separately as a JPEG image.
Simplest legacy way (works in old browsers):
MJPEG (Motion JPEG) is a video streaming protocol that compresses video frames using standard JPEG compression. It’s not a single video file but rather a continuous sequence of JPEG images sent over HTTP, each encoded as a separate JPEG file and delivered in a multipart HTTP response body with the MIME type multipart/x-mixed-replace . Every frame is separated by a unique boundary string, allowing the client to parse the stream frame by frame. axis cgi mjpg

Beyond simple viewing, Axis MJPEG streams are critical components in "Smart City" and disaster response frameworks. Because these streams are accessible via standard URLs, they can be indexed using standardized metadata to create interoperable systems. Every frame is separated by a unique boundary

Minimal processing time makes it ideal for real-time PTZ control.
