Question
patrickvh 4
All new Foscam HD devices (type Cx,Rx,FI99xx) have a new firmware in which two video streams are configured with default settings that can NOT be changed in the user interface of the camera. However, with a small workaround you can make them work in the Fibaro HC2 interface.
I've not been able to test but normally the procedure described below should work with Fibaro HCL too (=> any feedback is welcome).
The solutions described below also works for 'older' HD models (98xxx series) with latest firmware.
* Stream 1 = Main Stream = HD
1) HD Mode (does not work with Fibaro)
2) Equilibrium mode (does not work with Fibaro)
3) Smooth mode (does not work with Fibaro)
4) User-defined (does not work with Fibaro)
* Stream 2 = Sub Stream
1) HD Mode (does not work with Fibaro)
2) Equilibrium mode (does not work with Fibaro)
3) Smooth mode: does work with Fibaro
4) User-defined (does not work with Fibaro)
Solution:
Step 0: only for 'older' HD cams (98xxx series): update firmware
Using Safari, Google Chrome (I've not tested with other browsers)
Step 1: verify the stream settings for the sub stream:
Please login or register to see this link.
default (factory setting) result should be:
<CGI_Result>
<result>0</result>
<streamType>0</streamType>
</CGI_Result>
Step 2: set the sub stream to smooth mode:
Please login or register to see this link.
following result means that the new setting succeeded
<CGI_Result>
<result>0</result>
</CGI_Result>
Step 3: reboot Foscam (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!)
Step 4: check if sub stream type has been set to "2":
Please login or register to see this link.
following result means that new parameter has been set in the Foscam config
<CGI_Result>
<result>0</result>
<streamType>2</streamType>
</CGI_Result>
Step 5: create new camera device in the Fibaro admin interface with following parameters:
- camera model: "Foscam"
- user name: leave blank
- password: leave blank
- ip address: <ipFoscam>:88
- jpg path: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=<youradminusername>&pwd=<youradminpassword>
- mjpg path: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=<youradminusername>&pwd=<youradminpassword>
- turn left url: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveLeft&usr=<youradminusername>&pwd=<youradminpassword>
- turn right url: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveRight&usr=<youradminusername>&pwd=<youradminpassword>
- move up url: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveUp&usr=<youradminusername>&pwd=<youradminpassword>
- move down url: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveDown&usr=<youradminusername>&pwd=<youradminpassword>
- stop camera movement url: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzStopRun&usr=<youradminusername>&pwd=<youradminpassword>
- Send STOP after movement
- JPG
- Refresh time: 10 seconds works fine for me
- MJPG: leave blank
For info: in most browsers the image of your cam will disappear in the Fibaro HC2 admin interface after the time set in the "refresh time" parameter. However, no worry. In your iPhone, iPad, Android app you will have a continuous mjpg stream.
Good luck!
