Picture from URL?

Question:

Is it possible to use STRM files (didn’t work for me) or otherwise access an image from reference / link?

the short version is I have a few security cameras that offer the ability to pull a jpeg image from the live feed via a url. E.g.

http://user:pass@camera_host/Streaming/channels/1/picture

I tried creating a STRM file, but kodi didn’t open the image (I’m guessing it’s trying to use vplayer and expecting audio / video).

Any thoughts?
