Foscam ImageUrl FI9803p v2

[dressie]

Does anyone know the ImageUrl for the Foscam FI9803P V2 with firmware 1.9.1.12/2.54.1.37. It doesn't seem to work with the usual url. I've been searching anywhere but couldn't find anything about it.

Grtz,

Did you already find the 'ispyconnect' website? They mention a LOT of URLs for all different brands & types of cameras.

[dressie]

Yes, I already checked but they don't have one that works either.

[SweetPants]

Tried this one?

http://<your ip>:<port>/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=username&pwd=password&

[dressie]

Nope, doesn't work either. I already have a Foscam cam working, but this type is really annoying!

ImageURL:

cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=username&pwd=password

Fill in exactly as described above, so no slashes or http.

I tried that one already, works well for my other Foscam Cam. Looks like since the upgrade from the cam I just can't acces it anymore. Synology is able to acces it and record events, just can't seem to get the imageUrl from it. Wish I could find a way to downgrade the firmware on the cam.

[Shaggie_NB]

With an older foscam I had to change it, after updating the firmware, to:
snapshot.cgi?user=#USERNAME&pwd=#PASSWORD

it's working ok now.

So you got it working with the FI9803P firmware V2?

[dressie]

No it's not working, no matter what I try or do. So far only Synology knows how to get an image. Hoping someone will figure it out soon!

[jannl]

Anybody tried to contact foscam support?

I think you need to set the sub stream to MJPEG. See this topic: http://foscam.us/forum/how-to-fetch-sna ... t4328.html

Thanks for the tip, but I have tried all of those tricks. It must be something with the FI9803P V2 that just doesn't want me to get a stream.

Guys,

I'm coming back with some good news regarding the 9803P V2 cam, here is attached a patch to apply directly to the cam (via the cam interface / apply patch) to correct the snappicture2 CGI function.

I just applied it and now the cam works perfectly on Domoticz, I can see it using the cgi command line and I can embed the image into a webpage.

I hope it will work for you too.

Cheers

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum as in; I never posted anything. I have used this a lot for reference and always succeeded in setting up my domoticz. Until now..

I kind of have the same problem as described above. I recently bought the FI9803P V2 and now I'm trying to add it to Domoticz.

My Specs are:

Domoticz v2.2563 running on a RPi B+

Foscam FI9803P V2
Systeem Firmware Versie: 1.9.1.12
App Firmware Versie: 2.54.1.37_p1
Plug-In Versie: 3.0.0.9
Wireless connection to my network

I tried to add my cam in domoticz with the following settings:

Naam: cam1
IP Adress: http://192.168.1.50
Poort: 88
Username: [username]
Password: [password]
ImageURL: snapshot.cgi?user=[username]&pwd=[password]

But still I have no succes in adding my camera.

Did I do something wrong?

I hope to hear from you soon!

Kind Regard,

Robbert

read the post just above I put a patch to solve this problem

[LdV46]

Hi Sebitop,

Thanks for your quick response. I already patched my cam and tried it again for good measure. Still no luck.
I tried 2 foscam usertypes (admin and visitor) and both have no result. I also tried different passwords to make sure nothing was interfering with each other.
I have tried to leave the username and password fields empty but occupied in the imageURL and vice versa, nothing happens..
I already followed the foscam instructions to set the sub stream to MJPEG.. (http://foscam.us/forum/how-to-fetch-sna ... t4328.html)
I tried cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=username&pwd=password as imageURL

I'm afraid I have overlooked something, but have no clue where..
Any help will be much apreciated!

Kind Regards,

Robbert


--- EDIT ---
I made a simple html-doc with the code below and the image was shown in the browser.. So I'm even more confused right now..

Code: Select all

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <canvas id='test_canvas' width='640px' height='480px' style='border:1px solid #d3d3d3'>
    </canvas>
    <script language="JavaScript">
      var ctx = document.getElementById('test_canvas').getContext('2d');
      var img = new Image();
      img.onload = function() {
        ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
      };
      var theDate = new Date();
      img.src = "http://IPADRESS:PORT/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD&";
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

first you must access the cam without domoticz, once it will work for sure you will have access to is on DZ

if I was you I will do the following :

- Reset the cam to factory mode
- control that the patch was correctly applied, if not reinstall it and control
- once the patch applied connect your cam on your network
- register one user with password
- try to access the cam via chrome or other using : http://[IP ADDRESS] : [PORT] /CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPiture2&usr=[USER]&pwd=[PASSWORD]

normally it should work (that's what I've done to get mine work)

let me know

PS : Without doing all of this maybe try to correct the address you use with mine above I think you've done something wrong here

cheers

Having some problems with installing the patch. Keep getting a message that the install failed. I'm trying this wireless, what shouldn't be any problem.

Any tips?
