can also check just wget it.

or

If it's static image based try:

#!/bin/bash

NUM=100

while [ $NUM -le 1000 ]; do
 wget http://123.123.123.123/Jpeg/CamImg.jpg
 mv CamImg.jpg cm$NUM.jpg

    let NUM=$NUM+1

 sleep 5
done

and after:

mencoder -ovc lavc -mf fps=25:type=jpg 'mf://*.jpg' -o myvideo.avi

VLC can capture video streams (including those using the MMS or RTSP protocols).

You need to give us more info about the stream you wish to capture.

Can you help with this problem?
