I suppose this might be relevant
This binding is now merged into openHAB 2.5.9 and newer.
See below for more details on what each brand of camera has working as often choosing the right camera will save you from needing to purchase an extra video server (both the cost to purchase the server, plus the ongoing electricity costs) to process the video feeds.
Features for Generic cameras with only RTSP (no snapshot url):
Snapshots (jpg) can be created from RTSP with low CPU overhead but requires non stop network traffic to keep …

what format can these cameras do and can they stream in two different formats at the same time? Any known limitations?

Okay, so you’ll need to find out what software you chose to install and what formats that can stream in.

have you tried the url that is explained on that url?
https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cam-video-streaming-face-recognition-arduino-ide/
somehwere on the page it says " integrate video streaming in your home automation platform (like Node-RED or Home Assistant) "
As far as I can see you just use the IP, but I honestly didn’t read the links, so perhaps something more needs to be configured.
I have one of these somewhere in the drawer, haven’t got the time to set open it yet

I have one working now and this should work if you use the default demo sketch or any of the firmwares based off it…
If it helps, I have mine running in Openhab (snapshots every second working great and animated gif only at this stage) with the following setup.
EDIT: I have mjpeg stream working in openhab but it will need a newer binding version to work. You MUST have the stream stopped in the cameras webpage for Openhab to have access as this camera only allows 1 stream to be open at a time. This binding allows you to open more streams on multiple devices and works.
