dcovach Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't understand why you have the /11?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk good question. I found a topic in a forum related to my camera on the Foscam site. Someone contacted support and was told to add that "11". It worked for that person. I have no idea why. I can write a driver that would work for just your camera...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Do you need me to find the API for my FI8608W cam? I did a google search and so far no luck.

dcovach Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 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. Are there any cameras that allow 2 way audio with control4 (other than intercom)? My Foscam does but only through the Tiny Cam Pro app on my mobile phone. I can hear whats happening on the other end and then select mic on the app to send audio back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Foscam FI9821W which is an H264 camera. I know my driver will work with any h264 camera. I got the documentation for the API from the foscam forum.

dcovach Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I now have the same ip camera as you (FI9821W V2) but I can't get any video to stream on the navigators. I just see a snapshot. Do I need to set up the video quality for the Mainstream and Substream first? In composer, Snapshot URL passes, Mjpeg DOES NOT pass, but H.264 passes. How does composer determine the quality of video that streams on the navigators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcovach Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Is there a suggested resolution, bit rate, and frame rate that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcovach Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I tried all sorts of resolutions and settings with the FI8921W V2 with no luck with streaming on the navigators. I have Director 2.6. Could that be a factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What issues?Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk I appreciate the help. I look forward to hearing the steps. Also, you did mention before about setting the substream resolution lower of the foscam, but what was the exact resolution, frame rate, bit rate, etc..? I've tried lowering those settings but how low do I need to go? Whats the best possible resolution and settings to use before I will start running into issues? I could not find the right setting after numerous attempts. I even upgraded to the latest firmware. Also, (from composer) should I be logging in as admin to the camera or should I create a new user and password WITH or WITHOUT admin priveledges? I tried multiple combinations of logins (from composer) with different foscam substream resolution settings with no success so I had to throw in the towel for now. All I see on the navigators is a screen shot and no live image. I value your help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
