    direct snapshot link (for web page)

    This is what I do with the foscam camera I am using: http://[domain]:[port]/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr%3D[username]%26pwd%3D[passwd]%26cmd%3DsnapPicture Is there similar snapshot access to the Dahua cameras? Of course using the above string errors out. :) Camera I am dealing with is the...

    Interesting... Guess I am not going to get an answer: "This seller is currently away until 04 Feb, 2017, and is not processing orders at this time."

    No... no wifi... or at least I hope not since there is no facility for attaching an antenna. Nothing for setup in the GUI either, so pretty sure about that. Router works, as mentioned before it supplies POE to other devices, even switched ports around to make sure one port wasn't bad...

    Did a bit more checking, my router provides 802.1AT, where the specs of the camera call for 802.1AF for POE power. Seems the only difference though is wattage, and both are standard 48v. I was powering it with some cat6stp cable so that shouldn't be an issue. Looking though the web GUI on the...

    Yes POE works on the switch, runs another camera and I did switch ports around in case the new cam was plugged into a bad port just to varify. It's ok. Reading nayr's comment, looking a bit closer at the camera, I did come to a conclusion that what I thought was a re-set button is actually a DC...

    Came from an e-bay seller, China. Don't think I should say much more until the seller responds and they have a chance to resolve the issue. Still won't rule out operator malfunction though... reading though an english translation of the manual... maybe I missed something simple... never know.

    Found a suprise in the mailbox today, camera arrived. Package was ok and proceeded to hook it up. Plugged it into my POE router and nothing lights up... no IP connection or anything. Nothin shows up in the DHCP records. All the destructions are in Chinese... but that's ok... found the default IP...

    @CaliGirl Still waiting, delivery is really slow up here so I really don't expect to have it until February some time. Meanwhile I just go out and make sure the current inhabitant of the doghouse is warm and fed... -32 this am and he's not going anywhere off of his warm heating pad! :) I see...

    Cool... I see it has an optional 2.8mm lens! Ordered one, if it doesn't work in the doghouse it can work somewhere else... Thanks for the info Nayr. -G.

    looking for a small ip camera for inside the doghouse, outdoor/weatherproof capable likely good idea. Since inside an inclosure it should have IR illumination unless very sensitive (but might want night time video anyway). Looking at Dahua IPC-HFW1320 on e-bay, but might not focus well for such...

    Foscam software nightmare

    I have several foscam and other cams as well, I always set the cameras to DHCP and set up the router to serve out the IP addresses to each mac, and set up a port (forward) for each camera IP address. I don't have problems connecting unless the camera locks up or loses it's power supply etc...

    fi9821W V2 plugin update not updating...

    Current plugin is 2.0.1.3, should be 3.1.0.9 or higher. Tried updating it twice going back a couple of system/app versions, maybe I have to go back farther? Current firmware is: System Firmware Version 1.4.1.9 Application Firmware Version...

    Hi all, Found your forum when looking for updates for my Foscam cameras. Their website seems messed up for some reason. Glad to be here, looks like lots of great info to look through. Have Blue Iris running so will look into the tools section there. Tnx! -GFM.
