Does anyone have recent experience with this camera?

I have been able to configure a FI8918W, but the "10W" camera will not work. The console shows "Capturing", but there is no data and it doesn't bring up the live view when I click on it. Any ideas on how to configure it? Currently, it is set to "Remote", with the hostname entered and the path as: "/videostream.cgi?user=<my user>&pwd=<my password>".

As a new user, I have also noticed that the mysql daemon seems to be taking a lot of CPU time. I frequently see its cpu usage over 300% in top.

Some things to try:

Try ffmpeg monitor type.
upgrade to 1.33.15
Turn on debugging

I am running v1.32.3. This is on a Gentoo system. I'll see if I can find a 1.33.x package.

I have tried ffmpeg. It changes from "Capturing" to "Not Capturing".

Here is the top of the log (with "Remote"):

I have 2 cameras configured. It's the "Front Door" camera that I can't get working.

Here is the log after changing to "ffmpeg":

I know the URL is good: I copied and pasted it into a browser and it shows the video stream.
