You may be interested in checking out my new binding that I will link to below as it will give you the ability to display a snapshot that can auto update with a user adjustable refresh rate (I use 1 second updates that only happen when an alarm is triggered). It should use lower bandwidth then a steady stream. The other main difference is that you will not need to disable the authentication as my binding supports BASIC as well as digest auth methods, I need someone with a HIKvision to confirm the auth does in fact work and provide a log output if it does not.
