OP may have a broken browser or wish to script spy cam video archiving.

Anyhow, in the example URL:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://clips.dropcam.com/73ddb6bd57c4485597a76e154a4429ea.jpg">
<meta property="og:description" content="#caughtonNestCam">
<meta property="og:type" content="video">

  
    <meta property="og:video:url" content="https://clips.dropcam.com/73ddb6bd57c4485597a76e154a4429ea.mp4">
    <meta property="og:video:type" content="video/mp4">
  
  <meta property="og:video:width" content="480">
  <meta property="og:video:height" content="270">

og:video:url gives the media link.
