From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just wondering if this can do something that VLC cannot
I'll admit I only have a shallow familiarity with VLC, but I'd be surprised if it was capable of doing these things:
I've never even thought of VLC as a streaming media player.
VLC is my go-to for streaming local IP camera video.
What's that?

Dead link
Search for IP camera, Amazon or wherever you might buy electronics. If the link is dead you probably have Amazon blocked.
