Hello, I have just purchased a couple of IP Webcams called IPCAM02, they are pan and Tilt ip webcams.
They have MJPEG image compression and have a 15fps(VGA) and support HTTP,FTP,TCP/IP,UDP,SMTP,DHCP,PPPoE,DDNS,UPnP,GPRS
Initially I had to set them up via a PC to get them to access the airport extreme network, I have also set it up via dyndns.org/ and got it to NAT to my dynamic I address. All good as long as I use internet explorer using activeX. They can also warn me via email alerts.
My main problem - I cannot find the stream link to connect it to icamsource, is this possible?
Regards
David

Is the camera simply called IPCAM02? Do you have a link to the manufacturer's web page?
-
It appears to be unbranded, first time I've ever done that! Oops. It also appears to be closely related to a company called Foscam. I have requested some further information from the company I bought it from. I have set it up and it works, it has motion detection and emails me whenver something has changed, though it is not as elegant a solution as icamsource. I just wondered if it could work with your software?. I just have no technical knowledge in activex webcam streams and where the hidden stream source could be found to transmit to the icamsource servers. I could give you a link to the webcam if you like?

David - The easiest way for me to determine the correct JPEG or MJPEG URL for your camera's specific make and model is for me to connect to your camera with a temporary login and password and analyze the video stream, so if you could e-mail that info to support@skjm.com I would appreciate it, thanks. :)
Please reference this forum post and your forum username in your e-mail.

Hi,
I have also purchased the above camera and have been trying to access the raw jpeg stream, did you manage to find out how to access it?
thanks

digitalm - In this particular case, we were able to connect to the camera and view the video in a web browser. However, when we analyzed the video data, it was not streaming standard MJPEG video, so it is currently not compatible with the iCamSource and iCam. It looked like the video was actually being encrypted in some way, because we weren't able to the see the standard JPEG file image headers in the data.

ok just for reference if anyone else is looking for this information I have found out that you can get the video feed below - prehaps I have a newer firmware version.
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/snapshot.cgi for snapshop
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/video.cgi for stream
-
Thanks for that information. We'll add those to the MJPEG/JPEG URL list.

Can you tel me how you found that information please? I have a similar problem with a camera also unbranded and also called IPCAM02. The cnapshot.cgi works and gives me a still, but video.cgi returns page not found. I have tried all the alternatives on this site and tried the seller's pretty hopeless tech support. UrlSnooper can't find anything either. I am wondering as it is a wireless connection, should it be plugged into the router to get this information?
Thanks

Mark - If snapshot.cgi gives you a still, then have you tried using that one as a JPEG URL? (As opposed to MJPEG)

I did think about it and using a meta refresh tag in an embedded page. At least that way Safari and Opera users can see the image. Would just be good to get the stream working for everyone.
Thanks anyway.

Eureka!!! If I put http://xxx.xxx.x.x/video.cgi into the url bar of Opera, Chrome and Safari, I get the video stream. If I put the same url into Explorer it wants me to download a cgi file!!! Bloody M$!!!!
It is thanks to the iCamSource software I downloaded earlier that I found this out. Shame I can't install it to my ip cam!!!
Mark

does anybody know the URL for the up down and side to side links to move the camera (ipcam02)?
xx.xxx.xxx/video.cgi works btw on ipcam01
-
I use Foscam, for my IPCAM.
It work perfekt both in iCam and in EyeCam (also with PAN/TILT!!! in EyeCam :-) )
I really hope iCam will work with PAN/TILT soon :-)

i have the IPCAM02 camera that i just recieved yesterday, and i have been having trouble with being able to upload stream from my camera to the iCam source and transmit it to my iphone. however, i just tried the http://xx.xx.xx.xx/video.cgi that i read of above, and it works at 110%!!! ;D
the http://xx.xx.xx.xx/snapshot.cgi gives a great stream as well!! both streams are a little slow but i beleive thats just because of it being a WiFi camera, and its a little slow over air as opposed to being hard-wired in to my computer. i do appreciate the help that this forum gives! thanks guys!!! ;D ;D ;D

Just got mine working from Jay in Tech Support. (Thanks Jay!)
The IPCAM01 & IPCAM02 are manufactured by the Shenzhen Eye Sight Technology Co., Ltd. of China. Forget about getting any technical info from their site, they pretty much disavow any knowledge of consumer gadgets peddled in the US.
To get the correct videostream in iCam Source, enter the following into the URL box:
http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/videostream.cgi (with x being your device's LAN IP address)
Be sure that MJPEG is the selected button.
If you have trouble finding the camera on an external network, you'll can assign the camera a port via your router's port-forwarding page. (each router varies) In which case, the address would look like:
http://xxx.xxx.x.xx:####/videostream.cgi (with # being the port number you've assigned it)
Hope this helps!

Hi guys!
I see, many of you purchased the IPCAM02. So did I. And now looking desperately for some solutions as there is no support. The cam has the possibility to save the image in JPG file, but there is no way to define the file name. Cam is creating for each image own file name and I have no idea how to link the latest image. Is there a way to define always the same image name?
Thanks in advance!
Regards

If, when you view the camera in your web browser, can you right-click and view the image? If so, then that URL would be what you would want to use.

Good day everyone,
I'm new at all this and I just purchased the IPCAM02 and i can view it with the IP camera tool it came with, i even try to set it up for FTP or email alarm service with no luck, i can view it by using the suggested http://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx.video.cgi, but other then that i have to been able to view it out my wireless network.
I've tryed to use filezilla for the FTP feature, but i'm not sure i'm setting the camera to load the images to the FTP folder... it will save the images from any motion activation, but in the .avi file and i cannot view it....
Any suggestions??

Hello Dankez,
I just yesterday purchased that IPCAM02 and i can't even change its settings ;the IP camera tool it came with is Version 7.2
As said by Camkool it is manufactured by the Shenzhen Eye Sight Technology Co (www.netwave.cn (http://www.netwave.cn))
Click on DOWNLOAD and you see "no download files" !
Which version did you get with that produce and can you change its settings (It told me improper password but I use the default password !) ?
Thanks

I had this problem as well when I tried to open the admin page with Firefox. Once I tried it in IE, I was able to modify the fields. You may have to set IE to automatically install or prompt you to install unsigned Active X code.
Hope that helps.

Thanks very much fraineal
I just lost any hope with this cam ; now i think that may help

Hey guys, I have found an invaluable source for updating the unbranded IPCAM.
You guys have probably already done it hence the silence on this thread but if not please go here for all your needs, PC or Mac after updating there was no more need for the stupid activex. Thank god.

Very very interesting
One question : does your cam do an initial checkup when powered ?
Thanks

For all people who want to know how they can control this camera without having to debug html sources

Mine does. although with the new firmware it remembers the last position the camera was in, if there was a powercut or reset. Which is nice.
-
I know this post hasnt seen any additions in some time, but while I was out searching for info on the IPCAM I found vital information - so maybe if someone is out doing the same thing they can find this helpful.
This unbranded camera is apparently a "FOSCAM" and if you are like me, you've been swearing like a longshoreman, pulling your hair out, and kicking yourself for buying an unbranded camera in the first place,....or worse ( like me ) lost your install disc AND are trying both PC & MAC here's the link that saved my sanity....
http://foscamcanada.com/downloads.html
It has PDF's and Software for both PC & Mac. I really hope this helps - sorry Im late by several years for some of you! LOL
