@Wolfpack do you see any errors in the logs? I just tested with the same model camera and it works fine.
How do I view the logs? I managed to get the camera working in smarttiles, but it only works in Firefox. Should the IP be the local IP? Or a DDNS?
@Wolfpack When you are inside the IDE, there is an option at the top that says āLive Loggingā.
Thatās interesting itās working in the smarttiles but not the app. Itās been a little while but I believe i set this up to work with either the local or public address. What kind of phone do you have?
I use a Samsung S5. Interestingly the camera did finally come up on smarttiles in Chrome, but not right away like my 8910W. For the error log, I think itās this:

All,
Iām new to smartthings (long time vera lite user) and Iām having issues with the camera.
I added the device type and 2 devices for my 2 cameraās. I think theyāre 8990ās or something. The older non HD camera.
Neither of my cameraās show a live camera feed. My basement camera however I can control from the app and I can take screenshots with then show up but nothing live streaming. My garage camera doesnāt do anything.
Hereās a piece of from the log file when I hit cruise map 2 on my Garage cam:

Hello Experts, I am a novice with HT and ST. I added this code by going to My Device Types -> new device and setting it to my location. But how can i set the ip, port and password? When I tried run a simulation, with preset1, i get an out of bound exception.
After adding this device type, should I be creating my own app to take snapshot etc?
@Vol Live streaming is not yet implemented for these cameras yet. Iām hoping to figure it out soon now that the new hub has been released.
@indyquad I donāt believe this works using a simulation because it is using APIās to connect to an external device that is separate from SmartThings. After you install the device type you can configure everything on your mobile device.
Thanks a lot for your code @eparkerjr. I was about to pay for the other user to get his device code. I got this to work with my Foscam 9821W camera. I got the v2 Hub 2 days ago. I am new user from VeraEdge. I have question about camera support in ST. I know that live streaming currently only works with couple Dlink and Samsung cameras. For now do I have to press TAKE button to see an updated picture from cameras? Can it does automatically every 5 seconds like the way Vera does?
@binhton With the device type alone you need to press take to see an updated picture. You will need a smartapp to trigger taking pictures every 5 seconds. What exactly are you looking for? I can probably whip something up pretty quick.
FYI - The person that is charging for the similar device type took my code and modified it a little. I donāt support his development or methods in any way.
@eparkerjr I just want a simple thing similar to live streaming. I sometime just go into the app and just want to view the camera to see whatās going on at home. Since we canāt do live streaming, I just want to see the snapshots in internal of 5s until I exit. I think thatās how Vera does. If you know any smartapp can do it, please point me to it.
@Erk I saw your other post but Iām going to respond in here. Please take a look at the Live Logging in the IDE and let me know if you see any errors.
@eparkerjr I did not get an error, the following is what I received.

@eparkerjr I have a v1 us customer hub. I have the camera on a LAN too, if that might make a difference.
@erk Looks like they changed something in the new cameras. I just got a C1 and Iām having the same issue. Looking into it.
@binhton I tried making an app to do the screenshots but it looks like smartthings has an execution time limit so Iām trying to figure out another method. Until live video is figured I would suggest using another app if you are going to just monitor the camera. If you have an android I would recommend the TinyCam app because it also has widgets that you can set a poll time to. For iOS Iām still trying to find a decent app that actually loads the cameras consistently.
Thanks a lot for your effort. So far everything in ST v2 works well except the camera. I have moved everything from VeraEdge to ST and retired my VeraEdge system. Hopefully when ST opens their live stream, weāll get Foscam camera supported. For now, Iāll need to use a separate app from Foscam to monitor the cameras. For my Panasonic camera, Iāll try TinyCam to see if it works.
If it helps I just got a new C1 also, and I donāt have issues with this device type. I have a v2 hub, though. The only thing Iāve run into is the thing people mention where it says āTakingā and never returns the pic, or returns it all corrupted. I found that only happened when I had the quality on full HD. The s3 call must be timing out due to the size, it sends the GET but never gets the parse back. Then after a couple tries itāll finally get the parse back, but itās like it got all of them at the same time and multiple pics are spliced into eachother.
When I lower the quality in the foscam app it works every time.
How do you lower the quality of picture taken by ST?
