On my Amazon Fire TV I'm using IP Cam Viewer Free for now, which connects directly to my NVR, but should accept the raw streams from the Camera.
Seems to work quite well to view on my main TV.

Even though its an android based tv I do not believe you can just load any app you would like from the app store. I believe you can only use the "pre-loaded" android apps that the display comes with....

As @MrRalphMan indicated he is using an Amazon Fire tv module to load a specific android app like IP Cam Viewer or you could use tinyCam Monitor Pro as indicated by @nayr

you can sideload ivm4500 but it doesn't work to well, keeps lagging on more than one camera viewing

The app I'm using on the Fire TV box has a version in the Play Store, so if you can get to that it should work.

Can you elaborate a little bit more....you were able to load tinycam directly from the tv app selection?

I have tinycam on my andriod phone, so all I did was go to the play store on the tv and search for tinycam and install it. And then I just had to setup the cameras. Works as it does on the phone.
