neither.
it is wireless.
I have tried it wired to the router though with no luck
when connecting wirelessly should the camera be connected to Vera or Router?

By remotely do you mean through cp.mios.com?[/quote]
yes from another network than my own network witch the Vera is connected to.
Please put the camera in the same network as Vera and your computer (or whatever you’re using to view the camera). So if your computer has IP 192.168.10.x, your camera will have 192.168.10.y.
Try this and let me know if it works. (Make sure that the IP of the camera is set correctly on Vera)
This will give us some clues as why it doesn’t work.

The camera is on the same network as my computer, vera and router.
Could it be the “directstreamingurl” ?
I have “%2FVideostream.cgi”
The streaming URL is good. Can you enable Tech Support and send me the access codes at florin@my.mios.com?
just sent it
I SSH-ed into your Vera and tried to stream to a file using:
curl -u <username>:<password> -o x.out "http://192.168.1.4:93/videostream.cgi"It worked flawlessly.
This is the streaming URL generated by Vera:
http://<username>:<password>@192.168.1.4:93/videostream.cgi
If you try this from the browser, does it work?

from the browser i get a picture.
But when I click on “streaming” from the “settings” on the Mios camera GUI i get nothing.

it worked “flawlessley” how?
do i replace “%2fvideostream.cgi” with http://<username>:<password>@192.168.1.4:93/videostream.cgi ?
could the reference for %2fvideostream.cgi be wrong somehow?

Just to confirm, if you stick that URL in a web browser, do you get a video stream?
Also, have you tried this without a username and password / do you have any non-alphanumeric characters in your username / password?

Yes, i get streaming video using that url. I also get video stream through Mios when I am browsing from my own network. I just cannot get a stream through Mios on an outside network.
I have only letters. I can also get the stream without the UN & PW on my own network
I checked the box “Require local http authentication” on the “Settings” page and it asks for a login and when I go to view the streaming video from within my own network it is the same blank GUI I get when I try from an outside/remote network.
Hi…
been reviewing your posts here re: Foscam Remote.
About Vera SETTINGS vs ADVANCED tabs populating each other, it can go either way. If one’s blank, it will fill it into the other.
in the ADVANCED tab, my Foscam settings differ from what you have (and from what is “suggested”) But it works:
Timeout 5
Direct SreamingURL /live.htm
URL /snapshot.cgi
AutoConfig 1
Perhaps give that a whirl?

Thanks J,
I gave it a try and no change.
thanks a lot for the suggestion and please keep them coming.

Since this is a pretty long stream and you’ve been given several suggestions, I’m not sure quite where your settings would be at this point. Can you fill in some blanks and recap for us:
Camera Settings
Camera IP Address:
Camera Port: (defaults to 80)
Camera Username: (defaults to admin)
is there a cam pw? (you could take OFF the password for testing, then re-enable it when things work)
Router Settings:
Type of router:
What you’ve changed for the camera (probably either Port Fwding or DMZ, but )
Success So Far:
Does Streaming work in the Vera Device Tab?
Which browser are you using? (IE, Firefox, Chrome, ??)
Does Streaming work directly in a browser?
Have you tried various URLs… i.e. (substituting your IP address for 192.168.X.X below)
http://192.168.X.X/videostream.cgi
http://192.168.X.X/snapshot.cgi
http://192.168.X.X/live.htm
We’ll get it working, one way or another! : )
-J
PS: It’s also worth checking that some (most) changes require clicking SAVE in the upper right before they activate? LUUP updates also require an internal “save LUUP” tab… I’ve made various unsaved changes that have complicated troubleshooting.

I always click “Save” and even clear my cache and relogin.
Streaming works fine from the Mios interface only when I am using my own network. I have another computer connected to my niebhors newtork so i can test everything right away. (much quicker than going to Starbucks)
Camera Ip: 192.168.1.4
port: 93 (tried 80, 3428, 8090)
Have tried with and without PW
Router: Linksys WRT54GL running DDWRT
Modem: Actiontec GT724R
forwarded Port 93 for camera IP , Vera Ip
Streaming work when I am using Mios from my own network. I have gotten the streaming to work using my neighbors network but only using the Foscam app.
I am using Firefox but have also tried IE
Streaming does work directly in a browser
I have tried all the variations you have listed
I don’t know if I already asked this… but is there a reason you’re URL encoding “/” as “%2f” ? It’s not required, and “/” is a bit cleaner.
I never use the URL Encoding on my links for Vera, and haven’t had any trouble.

I’m not quite understand what you mean when you say it “works fine from the MIOS interface”
Do you mean testing by using http://CP.mios.com and letting it hook up with your Vera?
So you browse to http://cp.mios.com connected from neighbor’s network and you CAN, or you CAN NOT get to your Camera?
Your computer and Vera are on the “same network” but who serves up that 192.168.1.X DHCP pool? The LinkSys?
In the Foscam “Real Time IP Cam Monitoring System” browser interface appearing on the raw camera IP, once logged in, go to Device Management tab
Basic Network Settings sub tab. what do you have there for these settings:
DHCP [ ] (checked or unchecked?) ← I’d recommend uncheck this and require a STATIC IP, not DHCP
IP Addr < this is where you’d put the 192.168.1.4 >
Subnet
Gateway
DNS
Port
On the camera itself, there are two network interface connections, i.e. NICs: one wired, one wireless, each with separate MAC address. One thing that may or may not be related here is ARP/RARP confusion on your network when both camera’s wired and wireless expect to be using the same network address. I notice in your MCV/Vera UI4 setup jpg that the MAC Address specified there (00:0d:c5:d3:BC:94 ) is the camera’s WIRED interface.
Router: Linksys WRT54GL running DDWRT Modem: Actiontec GT724R forwarded Port 93 for camera IP , Vera Ip
NB: DMZ’ing and PortFwding can be dangerous and let crackers into your systems. Tread delicately doing these things…
That said, where is this Port Forwarding happening? in the Actiontec or the Linksys?
Since your UpLink top level modem external connection is from the Actiontec, Port Fwds would typically occur there.
forwarded Port 93 for ... Vera IpWhat did you mean "Port 93, Vera IP"? Fwding should only be to whichever device serves up the 192.168.1.1 network. I thought it was the LInkSys? If so, no need to involve Vera in this forwarding.
Streaming work when I am using Mios from my own network. I have gotten the streaming to work using my neighbors network but only using the Foscam app.
So while on your neighbor’s network, using a totally different source IP block, you browsed to
http://YourActionTecsExternalIP:93/live.htm and you were able to get the video. Good.
Streaming does work directly in a browser
And same here… if streaming does work directly in a browser, then what else is it that’s NOT working?
The http://CP.Mios.com/ connectivity?

Because that is what people have told me to use. I have tried it without and have also tried the other variations that have been mentioned.

If so, no need to involve Vera in this forwarding.that is why i forward port 93 for the veras controls IP address.

YES
And same here... if streaming does work directly in a browser, then what else is it that's NOT working?
What is not working is streaming from http://CP.Mios.com/ on an outside network
