    I have 5x R2M's. I tried two other PSUs but still the same. Swapped over, still same. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Foscam: Regular clicking and no video (R2M)

    I wonder if anyone can help. I have several Foscam R2M (firmware: 2.91.2.66) One of them has worked for a long time but has now developed a fault. It is particularly frustrating as this cam replaced another which had developed the same fault. There is no video either through its own web...

    Imou Ranger 2: Access via ONVIF

    We managed to find this URL to use. See messages in this thread from around Oct last year. This is not a complaint against you, I just would like to add that we did find some other additional bits on the URL that you are missing but may find useful.

    Imou Ranger 2: Access via ONVIF

    I think you would be able to use iSpy for alerting/recording. And yes could use their app to PT, but inconvenient? If you want one still, I gave up on the one I bought, it's here! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113954582697 I went for a Foscam R2M. Although Foscam have had a bad rep in past for...

    Imou Ranger 2: Access via ONVIF

    Can't help that much as I found the cam's web interface used Firewall hole punching rather than a specific port. It was not possible to get it to connect to my home VPN as could not make it port forward. It is stated by Imou to be ONVIF compatible but I found it only part compatible. We did...

    Imou Ranger 2: Access via ONVIF

    Thank you. I'll check out the tools you have used. I bravely took the cam apart last night to take a look. Lots of fragile plastic tabs to unlock, had to be careful. It's based on the chip HiSilicon Hi3516. There appears to be what looks like uart pads on the PCB. When my soldering iron is...

    Imou Ranger 2: Access via ONVIF

    You beat me to it! I managed to get this RTSP URL working in VLC player and iSpy. Couple of points, you have a / missing in your URL. The username is always set to admin, the password is always set to the Safety Code, written on bottom of cam. (Even if the password is changed in the...

    Make camera access through VPN

    I will read up on the web pages suggested. I can use imou's own app on home wifi or while using cell data. My router has one port open, for OpenVPN and uPNP is disabled.

    Make camera access through VPN

    I have a Imou Ranger 2 camera. It works correctly with its own Android app. The camera does not use IP Forwarding (have uPNP disabled). I don't know how the app communicates to my home network. Does it bounce off AWS or some other Chinese server? I have a OpenVPN server. Can someone explain...

    Imou Ranger 2: Access via ONVIF

    Imou is Dahua's consumer products tradename. This concerns the Imou Ranger 2 camera. Works fine with the Imou app (formerly LeChange). The specs state it is Onvif compatible. I would like to use it with iSpy software but have been unable to connect. iSpy do not list Imou in their cam database...

    Anybody use OpenVPN server on Windows

    This is only my opinion so please accept this post as a well meaning response to your messages. I think you are doing OpenVPN a dis-service by not following the multitude of instruction pages provided on VPN Software Solutions & Services For Business | OpenVPN I will try and lend assistance in...
