Foscam R2M Camera

[G4MHJ]

Has anybody managed to get this model of camera working with a NanoSD.
I have managed to get a green tick for http://192.168.1.113:88 on the Station/Cam page.
If I click on the camera/internet icon to the right of that window it tries to open a page 192.168.1.153/aircam.jpg but nothing is found. Maybe iit never will as I probably need to do something else.

If anybody can assist here I would be most grateful.

Thanks hymrog. That URL was accepted into Station/Cam giving a Green Tick. I am not sure what else I need to do produce a static url for an ftp. Also the url mentions substream and I have a choice in Foscam configuation or Cover and substream but I don't know what this does. I have it as Cover currently.

Hello -

There are two streams for the Foscams, the main stream and the substream. The substream uses less resources. I am not really sure what you are trying to do but if you set the url I provided, along with appropriate credentials, on the Cam tab and you click the Camera picture on that page you should get a static image of your camera.

Have a look here. This is a list of various commands that can be used with most Foscam cameras.

Thanks very much for those links. I have always found anything to do with webcam images too complicated these days!

My intention was to get a periodic still image to my website, either a new page or part of a PWS or Weather34 template. I currently have the Foscam VMS running to produce video and snapshots actioned by movement but of course these produce files with date and time filenames. I also record 24/7 data to my Synology NAS system for a maimum period of a few days before being over written.

I had never seem the foscam CGI pd before

The Station/Cams screen still gives no image (even with a green tick), just a small blue icon using Safari on a Macbook.

Some partial success using a URL from the Foscam pdf

http://192.168.1.113:88/cgi-bin/CGIProx ... pwd=xxxxxx (pwd removed) entered into my browser gave a snapshot. My question now is, is there a service needed to get this to my website. I assume I can ignore the station/cam entry now.

Thanks for your patience.
