ISpy with Motorola Focus 73

[Appalachianspirit]

I have a Motorola Focus 73 that is a Hubble camera i guess, but I want to have everything local on my personal PC. I downloaded ispy and it does show up on the Listed list and when I scan for it I see it but it shows up twice. Once under Port 80 and the other in port 8080. when I click on either of the correct IP's I get nothing after hitting next. I don't know what to do from here.

I don't use iSpy but have you tried:

Insure the PC that those screenshots came from is connected to the Internet.​

Click on "Get Latest List" text at bottom right.​

Choose a MJPEG URL, likely "/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi "​

You'll also likely need to insert username and password at some point​

Then try Next.​

I have done all that. The camera works in Hubble just can't get Ispy to connect. Both my camera and my computer are hard lined in via ethernet..

What URL did you use?
Do you know your camera's IP address?

Try this URL with VLC and report back:

http://Camera-IP/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

I am still a little confused about the VLC thing. I know it is a media application because I use it for my music but how does it work with ispy? I work full time and am a mechanical engineering student on the side and haven't had the time to go super in depth about how all that works. When I click on "Download VLC it sends me to the screenshot below but I don't know which one I need, or if I need to install this separately from my original VLC install.

Using VLC to play a specific URL, if properly, only reinforces that you have a viable, camera video streaming URL that should work with iSpy, Blue Iris VMS, etc.
It's merely a tool in this case.

Not sure why you're getting all that crap. You want "vlc-3.0.16-win64.exe " . My post #4 has a link embedded in the word "VLC".

Also, here's a URL to try if the first one in post #4 doesn't work :

http://Camera-IP/image.cgi?type=motion&camera=1
