Thanks for the information.  Here's another WAG based on my USB cameras: 
try prefacing with "http://" -- I think most utilities are automatically 
using "https://"  (no quotes, of course!).

As you're able to view on another machine this probably won't help but 
will mention anyway: my configurations use camera numbers and this 
number needs to be added to the end: "http://192.168.4.221:8081/1".  
That '/1' is derived from the configuration file:

     # Numeric identifier for the camera.
     camera_id 1

OK -- hope someone else replies so you can get a better suggestion. :)
