Hikvision or Synology Surveillance Station HTTP Camera Stream on Dashboard

I use Amcrest cameras.
I think that the "Edit Camera" page transforms the stream from the camera to MJPEG.
(I think that it outputs H.264).
Dashboards only like MJPEG, not RTSP.
I think that TinyCam also converts to MJPEG.
Also, there appears to be a way to get the Raspberry Pi to do the conversion.
Also, if you have a machine running VLC (all the time), it can also convert to MJPEG.
