Ross : another reason is that network cameras can't handle a lot of clients at
the same time. Relay servers can.

Yes, that's true. However, the questioner was asking how to connect a single client to the camera. The best way to do this is to fix his network so that the client can communicate with the camera directly.

Developing relay server - supporting the handling of (and stream duplication to) multiple clients - would be a much more significant task. (Of course, the best way to handle multiple clients is IP multicast, if it's available on the network.)
