Foscam HD cameras
« on: August 20, 2014, 02:52:08 PM »
To get Foscam HD Cameras to work you will have to do 2 things. First put this address in to your web browser to set the HD camera to stream in MJPEG instead of H. 264.

http://ip address:port/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=admin&pwd=&cmd=setSubStreamFormat&format=1

Then put this address into iCam to get the video.

http://ip address:port/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=admin&pwd=xxx

Simply replace the IP address, port, username, and password into the above URL to access your camera's MJPEG stream.

Pan and Tilt does not work. Audio does not work. I am hoping that iCam pro will have support for this in the near future.

Hmm, I just came here to see if there were any updates on the cameras front.  I use 3 Foscam 8910's (Non-HD) with iCam Pro, and they work well, but I am thinking of adding another camera and was wondering what the HD options are now.

Disappointing to hear they still don't work well.

I had purchased one of the Foscam HD cams probably a year ago and returned it because the firmware was just terrible.
