Or, if you have set up Zoneminder there is a binding to get events from that system.

There is an IP Camera binding in the IoT Marketplace I think.

Looks like it has not made it into that yet:

Depends of type of camera.
If it is possible to get steady picture (jpg) then in HabPanel You can grab it and refresh it every few seconds with image widget.
If Your camera is able to send stream in mjpeg its possible to use iframe widget.

ie. in HikVision cameras static frame url is
