The website is back up now. Thanks for your patience.
Im doing this, but appears a “thing” called “Tiles Missing”, if click, then crash. If dont click this thing but I selected add a thing, then crash too. So… is not working for me, maybe I have another problem, but its only with this DH.
In the preferences page. Sound camera alarm
@RBoy, in the Foscam Motion Alarm Monitor I had to bypass the LongURLService from line 777 as api.longurl.org doesn’t exists anymore apparently. Looks like it’s working for me now but I am not sure if this is an acceptable fix. You should also fix that issue in your code.
Thanks
Guys, sorry… Layer 8 problem… my mistake! I configured the SmartApp in the Device Handler section
Sorry again!
Some folks have been having trouble on figuring out how to configure the Foscam C1 (and any similar camera using RTSP ports) in ST to get video streaming and getting it to work with SmartTiles. A big thank you to @tsatrom for helping put this step by step guide.
###CAMERA SETTINGS (WEB GUI)
- Login to cameras by typing the cameras ip address into web browser.
- I statically assigned the camera under “Network” and then “Network Configuration.”
- Under “Network” Then “Onvif” you need to make sure it’s enabled and that “RTSP Port” is 554.
###ROUTER SETTINGS
- Login to your router and forward port 554 to the ip address of your camera.
###SMARTTHINGS IDE SETTINGS (from forums)
- Login to your IDE at https://graph.api.smartthings.com (create a login if you don’t have one AND opt in for the developer account)
- Click on “My Device Handlers”
- Click on “+Create New Device Handler” on the top right
- Click “From Code”
- Copy paste Rboy’s code into the editor and click “Create”
- Click “Publish” and then “For me” on the top right
- Click on “My Devices”
- Click on “+New Device” on the top right
- Enter a “Name”
- For “Device Network Id *” enter 2000. (2001 for second camera etc.)
- Under "Type " select the new device type you just created (it will show up at the bottom of the list called as *RBoy Foscam IP Camera) (IMPORTANT: Do NOT select Foscam from the middle of the list)
- Select your “Hub” (very important step!)
- Select your "Location"
15, Click “Create”
###SMARTTHINGS APP ON PHONE
- Open you SmartThings App on your phone (iPhone or Android),
- Under “Things” (in the Location page, bottom bar second tab with the 4 squares) look for your new device.
- Open the device page, on the top right click on the 3 vertical dots and select “Edit Device”
- Enter the camera IP Address of your C1 Camera,
For port, put 80. Enter camera username and camera password (both un and pw are case sensitive).
IMPORTANT - The C1 uses the RTSP port. Type in “554” and and click Done. - Scroll down and click on “Refresh” circular arrow icon to load the new settings.
You’re Done! Your camera should now work in Smartthings!
###SMARTTILES (only needed if you want to use the C1 in Smarttiles.)
Important you need to forward another port (in your router) other than 554 to use with SmartTiles. (Example: Port: 8080)
- Make sure you have Smarttiles installed already.
- Open the Smartthings app on your phone and under “Automation” and then “SmartApps” open “SmartTiles (Connect)”
- Select your dashboard list and scroll down to “Video Streams.”
- Select “Stop Motion Video Streams”
- Enter how often you want the tile image to refresh. (I used 2 seconds so it refreshes faster.)
- Enter a “Title” in.
- Enter the Image URL in: http://CAMERAIP:PORT/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD&cmd=snapPicture2
Replace CAMERAIP with your cameras ip address. Replace PORT with your newly forwarded port. (NOT 554)
Replace USERNAME with your camera username and PASSWORDS with your cameras password. - Lastly, Hit “Done” and you should be good to go.
I have the foscam FI9900EP to get the video stream is the only option I have for streaming is using the stop motion?
Could I possibly get some help with this, I have followed all of the above instructions, but still just get a back tile in smarttiles. What am I doing wrong?
@RBoy The last few days my camera feed has been showing up with a very green tint. Its a problem only in ST, works fine when viewing the stream directly. I tried restarting the camera but no luck. Experienced anything similar? The issue is on a Foscam C1.
Got it to work, this is the url I used http://CAMERAIP:PORT/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD&cmd=snapPicture2
The issue was teh 554 and the 8080. I replaced with my camera port of 93 and all the sudden we got gold.
Try rebooting the camera.
Tried, still no result. Let me try removing and readding tomorrow.
It’s a ST phone app issue. Try a different phone. The rendering appears to
be dependent upon the phone codec and capabilities.
Another thing you can try is toggling your IR filter on and then streaming and then turning it off
looking for advice on which camera to buy. I want a wireless system that does not rely on a mobile device and can rather be used via the web. Essentially I want to be able to receive alerts and watch my home camera via a web site. Reason: I only have a work blackberry and no other mobile device.
Thanks
Howdy,
I can’t figure out how to activate My foscam c1 camera to “on” in the device handler.
Everytime i click “on”, i get this in Live Logging.

I turned the Action and Sound detection on in the C1 Camera itself and in the SmartApp I have that activated and checked mark the settings to the only C1 Camera in ST.
Any thoughts?
Is the zoom feature available? If not can it be built in?
Check your settings, username, password, ip, port etc. Also make sure HD is enabled in the settings. If nothing else start over, something maybe corrupted.
What’s zoom? You mean zoom on the video tile? If so, no the video tile is controlled by ST.
Does the C1 need to be a specific firmware? I’ll wipe the device and smart app. Should i wipe the handler and smart app too?
