-Flashing this software on a ESP32CAM module will make it a **RTSP streaming camera** server.
+Flashing this software on a ESP32CAM module will make it a **RTSP streaming camera** server, a **HTTP Motion JPEG streamer*** and a **HTTP image server**.
+
+### RTSP
 The RTSP protocol is an industry standard and allows many CCTV systems and applications (like for example [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/)) to connect directly to the ESP32CAM camera stream.
 It is also possible to stream directly to a server using [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org).
 This makes the module a camera server allowing recording and the stream can be stored on a disk and replayed later.
 
+The URL is rtsp://<ip address of the module>:554/mjpeg/1
+
+### HTTP Motion JPEG
+The HTTP JPEG streamer makes it possible to watch the camera stream directly in your browser.
+
+The URL is http://<ip address of the module>/stream
+
+### HTTP image server
+The HTTP Image server returns an HTTP jpeg image of the camera.
+
+The URL is http://<ip address of the module>/snapshot
+
+
 This software supports the following ESP32-CAM (and alike) modules:
