Problem with Foscam clone

Post by mjbrenegan »

Hi

I have a few Foscam cameras and one Foscam clone. The Foscam cameras work fine using /videostream.cgi?user=<user>&pwd=<password>. However, the clone only shows a blue screen. However, I can open a browser and put in: <ip address>/videostream.cgi?user=<user>&pwd=<password>, and it works fine. Alternatively, I can use videostream.asf in place of videostream.cgi and that works as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

SOLVED. For some reason, the camera would take that string in a browser address window, but in order to get the video in zoneminder, I had to use /videostream.cgi by itself on remote host path, and put <user>:<password>@<ip address> in the remote host name.

Thanks,
Mike
