Regular stream from IP camera requires two things:
1. credentials
2. a separate stream for each user
Most regular cameras can support 3-4 users, if that.
The bigger issue is that each stream takes additional bandwidth.

Now, I'm not saying to spend $25,000/yr on one, but you do need to find a camera that supports broadcast and/or use a service.

Here is one of many, many services: [Link: click2stream.com]
