D-Link DCS5220 not working with Vera 2

Community Playground General Discussions

I have recently purchased vera2 and I am trying to connect it with my existing IP Camera D-LINK DSC5220

I have added the “Generic IP Camera” Plugin and I have added 1 device with the following properties:

URL: http://192.168.0.187/cgi-bin/video.jpg (this path is working on any browser and shows me the camera picture)

I have disabled authentication.

IP: 192.168.0.187

I still have no picture when i open the device to check.

the message hangs on " Trying to get image from camera…"

I have the cam hooked directly on the Lan and timeout is set at 10 seconds

Am I missing something?

From you URL, it looks like you have the link to the video stream; however the generic plugin only supports static images; streaming video is only possible at the moment with some of the Panasonic cameras.

If you can find the URL for the static image (if it exists) then you may have a chance to get it to work.

Are ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ (‘Advanced’ tab) correct (no authentication = no password)?

Thank you guys for your reply.

there is no authentication nor password.

the url is indeed a mjpeg stream. if I open the url on the browser , it will show a static image. on refresh, I receive a new picture on the browser.

but the camera feed still doesnt show on Vera. I dont understand why something so simple as this cannot work. I have developed so many apps using this URL and C# and it was extremely easy to get a feed.

Would you mind posting a screenshot of your ‘Settings’ tab?

of course,

Try removing the IP address from the ‘Url’.
