Support for new Foscam cameras?

[petrho]

Does the Foscam FI9903P and FI9853EP work in Blueiris?

 

[gwminor48]

I have some Foscams but not those models. They were pretty easy to set up in Blue Iris.

I have also a foscam 9805w and it works great but I can't find those in the supported list and it's sad to buy a new camera which not will work in BI

They will likely work with some of the other profiles or simply find the correct url...

Though I would stay away from foscam in general...there are better options.

Thanks fenderman - really good tip! Can someone recommend a cheap camera for outdoor use which can be used just above a door. The object will be very close to the camera.
And why is the foscam cameras bad? Maybe I have had luck so far (2year) the camera performs really good video and also support the Swedish cold winters...

I have a 9805w and a 9826w ptz and they both work with the same make/model profile in Blue Iris. Maybe someone on here with knowledge of the model in question will chime in. I wasn't really happy with my Foscams, especially at night so I got some Hikvisions and I'm now contemplating using the Foscams in other locations. I had so much trouble with the wireless that I ended up wiring them with cat5, thankfully the Hikvisions can use poe so I was able to do away with the power cords in the attic.

True! I had also problem with my wifi so my Foscam is wired and the night use is brilliant

Blue Iris will not connect to my new Amcrest IP2M-841W, but I can see its image when I open its IP address in Internet Explorer. The 1080P image is great!

I've emailed Blue Iris tech support.

The Amcrest IP2M-841W is on the Blue Iris dropdown list, but is not in the tested cameras list on their web page.

check your ports and user/password...

Foscam tech support changed the default HTTP port from 80 to 8096. No joy. User and password in Blue Iris are correct.

they changed it in blue iris or the camera?
Foscam knows very little about blue iris...they dont develop it..
If the camera is onvif compliant you can get the rtsp url with ODM

Foscam tech support changed it in Blue Iris. When that didn't fix the problem, he gave up and told me to contact BlueIrisSoftware.com, which I did.

When you log into the camera interface what ports does it indicate its using? There should be a list of ports in the network setup of the camera interface.

 

[Yan Wo]

TCP Port 37777
UDP Port 37778
HTTP Port 8096 (Changed from 80 by Foscam. I now have to use <192.168.0.54:8096> to see the camera in IE.)
RTSP Port 554
HTTPS Port 443

I watched the excellent video and downloaded ODM. When I run ODM I do not see the Monitor screen as shown on the video.

if you want to try a team viewer session I can try to get it running for you...
Also try the other methods in the post, including a scan by ipcamview for other cameras that use the same url.

Excellent! I'll PM the codes.

Mega kudos to fenderman. He found the problem in a few seconds!

I can't believe I had 192.168.1.54:8096 in Blue Iris. It should have been 192.168.0.54:8096, which is what I used to view it in IE. Can't beat another set of eyes.
