Is there ANY driver that works with the 8910w, the mjpeg version?  I have a working driver, but it only seems to work via voodoo.  For instance, I can set it up, ip/port, and it receives the image and passes.  Then sometimes it won't.  For no reason, it randomly works.  I have it set to no login info, as that was the only way to get it working initially.  If I go in and change the user name/pass, it fails the image test, but it still shows up on all the gui's?  Any help would be awesome.  I like these cams, but it seems to be more trouble than they're worth.

Is that an h264 model?

Yes, its the h264 model.

 

 

 

Also make sure you have the latest firmware, they just released a new bath of FW last week

 

I'll check out the site for a new firmware.  At this point I'm not able to see an image in my navigators so there's something wrong.

 

Thanks

I'm not sure if I have your driver but I doubt it.  I have one created by Michael Rytting and I'm not sure who created the other one.  Can I try yours?  I just updated my Foscam so I'll test it out with the drivers I have.

I like your driver but it doesn't seem to work.  The url's that the driver generates doesn't seem to be the same for my camera.  I'm also struggling with the free H.264 Client software.  I can't connect.  I can only connect by typing in the ip address in a browser and log in on the Gui from there.

I'm not sure what the substream is for Snapshot URL or Mjpeg URL, but I did get the right url for H.264.  rtsp://myipaddress:554/11.  I found in a forum that 11 needs to be added for this camera.  Am I able to see a rtsp stream with control4?  So far I can't see anything.

 

It may be worth my time to find a better Foscam camera.  Can you recommend one if this is not worth the time?

After adjusting all the config settings in composer, the default test url for H.264 streaming is "rtsp://192.168.1.149:554/videoMain" but it DOES NOT work until I remove "videomain" and change it to "11/".  The test passes with that slight mod but unfortunately that setting does not remain permanent.  I can only edit the test url.  I can't change it permanently.

 

Anyways.... I only purchased 1 of these for a good price so I'm not out much.  Is there a better known budget Foscam camera or is there still hope?

Depends what you mean by "works".  I have a diver that works with my 8910's but the functionality is very limited.  It basically just displays the video - can't pan/tilt/etc.  I just upgraded to a 9821 and am looking forward to trying msgreenf's driver.
