Can anyone help, I think I’m doing something wrong with the IP syntax
MY device is at 192.168.1.102 and appears on the router host list as camera assigned by DHCP. I can access the foscam HTTP user interface at http:/192.168.1.102:88. The HTTPS port is 443. The ONVIF port is 888.
Is this the correct syntax for the IP address/hostnames? Do they need http://? Is there a way to test the connection settings? For additional info currently the Preset names are not being transferred from the IDE to the ST App but the IP address and password are.
@eparkerjr - I have two Foscam cameras (one old one and one new HD one) both on 10.x.x.x n network.
What I find interesting is that I dont even get the option to input the IP address when I create the new device type using the above code and then create the device using it. I just get the option of entering username and password… that cannot be right ?
I have deleted the whole device setup and redone from scratch… without any luck. Thoughts ?
Make sure you are using the right Foscam device type. It will be down near the bottom of the list near any other of your own device types. There is also a ST Foscam device type (that’s not supported I assume) in the IDE that AFAIK does not work.
I am really new to this.
I am having the same problem as @zj4x4 … but my IP address is in the 192. format . It was not changing the IP address automatically so I tried to do it manually. When you first configure it what are you supposed to set the Device Network ID as ? Even though the logs are saying its changing when I go back to the device its still whatever ( I have tried random numbers or the IP:PORT format ) . I am able to connect to camera using the IP address just fine.
here are my logs … can anyone help please ?

My camera specs
Model: FI9821W V2
System Firmware Version : 1.4.1.8
Application Firmware Version : 2.11.1.116
Plugin Version : 3.1.0.5
So I took a look at the code and realized that I had set HD question to “True” instead of “true” which was causing it to use the old CGI rather than the new one so now my camera is connected . But I still have no picture , when I click take I dont get a picture my smartthings app does not display an image . Here are the logs . If I go to the URL directly in a browser I do get an image. Also if I go back to the Things page the “Take” is basically stuck on “Taking” and the tile next to it says “blank”. I am able to set the alarm to on and off and control the camera as well ( I can see the camera moving in my browser ) but I cant see anything on the smarthings app.
I am almost there can someone please help me?

Need help with my Foscam, SKP19 Universal device, it will control my camera but will not display a picture, I’m a new to this and not sure if there is something else I need to do.
Thanks,
Dolphusk
If you can control it (turn on/off IR, make it move, etc) but can’t get a picture it sounds like the configuration is correct. I had the same issue and after much trial and error I ended up deleting the device and adding it back. It worked for me after this. Not the device type just the actual camera.
I had this code up and running for several weeks and about Halloween in stopped working and I’m getting the same errors everyone else is talking about.
Has anyone figured out the root cause? I’ve tried deleting and recreating the device with no joy.
Hi,
first of all, thanks for the great effort to write a driver for foscam.
I just tried to get the driver working with partial success: I can call the camera (e.g., set the alarm) but no values are returned (e.g., the status of the alarm when I pull). Looking at the logs revealed that parse is never called. Instead, whenever I pull I see shortly after a message about Sonos:
I just got a 9821w set up last night and noticed this same alarm issue. I was not having the problem with the 8910w. I may try this code alteration at some point this week, but would love to hear if anyone else that lacks programming skills like me got this to work.
Lacbra, I’ll let you know if I’m successful. Thanks for posting!
I am having the same problem as some others – I can’t pull a picture from the cameras - you click take and it gets sick in “taking”; not sure why, same with all my cameras and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling cameras (all NON-HD cameras by the way).
Using the latest “Foscam Universal” app you guys have up.
Everything else works (at least from what I can tell – I can PTZ the camera fine and change the other settings but it can’t for the life of me get it to pull a picture from the cams (this just randomly started one day)
Same problem here. Does anyone have the date we lost image capture? My poor memory seems to think it was around thanksgiving. Which is close to when Cassandra was implemented for persistent data (sticky post at top of announcements).
