Foscam FI8908W configuration
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2016 2:38 pm
Dear all,
I just installed ZoneMinder 1.30 (viewtopic.php?f=36&t=25327) and since then I'm still trying to add 2 cameras. I undo those changes just in case they are not working, and leave the configuration untouched as it was just installed.
One of them, is Foscam FI8908W I bought many years ago. It claims:
Device Firmware Version 11.14.1.46
Device Embeded Web UI Version 2.4.8.12
The other one is a clone of that one, I will fight for that once I have one of them working, because at this point i don't know if it's a camera problem, a configuration problem or the system that is failing somewhere.
So I followed and tried many settings, but what I think may be the good one, was following this:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Foscam
Foscam FI8908W IP Camera with PT (no Z) Working in ZM 1.24.2
I have deleted all the test and leaving just one, configurated as shown before. The log:
I also tried this configuration from an FI8910W (viewtopic.php?f=10&t=25183), and many other combinations of configuration.
Also tried installing "iSpy: Open Source Camera Security Software" (http://www.ispyconnect.com/) and with the installation wizard, shows me a way to set up:
And from there, I see image even I'm able to control and move the camera.
Furthermore with VLC and the following chain, I can see the cam.

What am I missing?
Besides all of these, I bought an ESCAM QD300WIFI which for the price (38€) seems good and I can see it's compatible. https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Escam Will see when it arrives
I know it's not one of those fancy AXIS cams, but I just one this system for the garage and to play a bit with it because I think it's an interesting system.
Many thanks, have a nice day!
