iCam Support / Re: Foscam FI8910W and iCamsource 2.6

« on: March 12, 2016, 09:04:58 AM »

After having the Foscam camera for 1 week, I'm returning it to Amazon today. Every now and then when a light comes on, the image starts flickering. The brightness would change about 3 levels and wouldn't stop. It would do it at night with IR on and during the daytime. One day with the camera on iCamsource, there was over 8000 images for one event. Some days it worked ok after we turned the lights out when going to work.

It seems that a lot of people using iCamsource and other programs like this camera, but I wasn't impressed. I'm currently looking for an Airlink 1747W but does not appear to be in stock anywhere. I have one at a remote location and have had no problems with that one or the other 3 Airlinks that I have on iCamsource.

Downloaded iCamsource 2.8 this morning on my dedicated computer. Was happy that the 6 cams that were on 2.6 auto-populated onto 2.8. Add the Foscam cam and all s good.

Anyone have any insight on the date/time stamp for the Foscam FI8910W?

One thing I find odd with this camera is that there is no date/time stamp when viewing outside of the camera URL. I have 4 Airlink and 2 Trendnet IP cameras and all have date/time on the image. Am I missing something? Maybe because it is <$65, it doesn't have as many features.

iCam Support / Foscam FI8910W and iCamsource 2.6

« on: March 04, 2016, 12:17:27 AM »

I just received a new Foscam FI8910W camera today and got it set up on my network. Also have port forwarding set up so that I can see the camera from outside my network on various IP camera iPhone apps.

I have iCamsource 2.6 running on a dedicated computer with one other camera program running two Trendnet cameras that I can't get working on iCamsource. iCamsource has 4 Airlink IP cameras (3 are at a remote location) and 2 webcams. This program has been very stable for a few years.

I have iCamsource 2.8 on a laptop that I use for testing and isn't left on. I was able to get the new Foscam camera working on 2.8 using:

http://ipaddress:port/video.cgi

I put the username and password in the normal boxes and was able to get an image. The SKJM website to test for video strings showed an image at /snapshot.cgi but that didn't work in 2.8.

I tried to add the Foscam camera to iCamsource 2.6 and was not able to get an image. Do I need to update to 2.8 to be able to get an image? I have a fear that if I download 2.8 that I won't be able to get the other 6 cams working.

Any update to adding H.264 and/or Digest Authentication to iCamsource?

Thanks,

The FOSCAM F19804P is H.264 format and not compatible with iCamsource.

H.264 video format is not supported by iCamsource, unless something changed recently.

H.264 image compression is not supported with iCamsource.

I opened a support ticket yesterday with Trendnet to ask a few questions about authentication on my camera. Here are my questions:

Does the TV-IP320PI camera use Basic or Digest Authentication?

When disabling HTTP authentication, is the camera using any form of authentication? Is the camera secure?

Trendnet's response:

The camera uses Basic and disabling the http authentication will make the camera not very secure.


Not sure what to think now as to why the camera doesn't work with iCamSource if it is truly Basic Authentication.

Thanks for adding Digest Authentication to the list. I appreciate the help with trying to get this camera to work on iCamsource. Hoping the digest authentication request gets to the top of the list soon! 

I might turn off the port forwarding temporarily for this camera and test it out on iCamsource with HTTP disabled.

Email sent to support Sept 30th with latest update.

When I turn off HTTP authentication, the Trendnet camera works on iCamSource. I think the camera is not secure in this state. My guess is that with HTTP off, the camera is using Basic Authentication and Digest when HTTP is on. I turned HTTP back on to keep the camera secure.

Is it possible to add Digest Authentication to iCamSource?

Thanks, Bob

Not sure how to tell if the video image I can see in the browser is H.264 or MJPEG. I can get an image in Google Chrome with:

http://myipaddress:port/streaming/channels/1/httppreview

I think this is H.264 video as it doesn't work in icamsource. I think channel 2 is MJPEG substream and doesn't work in Google Chrome.

I have not been able to get the MJPEG substream to work in a browser.

I have the camera mounted outside and is already set up with a host name and the port forwarded.

I have tried every url that I could find on the web and I'm ready to throw in the towel. I like the camera a lot as it has a very good image, even at 640x480 resolution. I didn't think it would be so difficult to get this camera to get an image using the MJPEG substream.

I tried to set up an FTP server on the same computer that I have Icamsource program running in an attempt to FTP JPEG images from the camera to Dropbox and failed at that. Not sure if it is possible to create an FTP server on a computer already running Icamsource and the Trendnet camera server. If you guys ever get H.264 video format working with Icamsource, I'll be all set.

I found a place to get the Trendnet TV-IP320PI camera for $99. If I send you a camera, can you work with it to figure it out?
