Ok, thanks for the help… I think I am almost there…
I downloaded the Panasonic file. I edited the file with the commands after I validated that they work posing them via ie… now the only issue I have is getting the file into vera… I went to the files page and did an up load, but it named the file with the full file path of my PC including the % crap… I am not sure how to get rid of that one and upload one that would not have the path stuff in the name… Any thoughts?
Thanks for all the help…
Are you using the upload box/button and then choosing the file on your harddrive? Because it was fairly straight forward for me (this is under the Plug-iIn Icon on the left (MIOS Developers) and then the Luup Files tab).
So the cameras do display the needed jpg image? If so I’ll wait to see if you have success with the plug-in for pan/tilt before buying some. Signs are good though.
Deal extreme has a couple different knock-offs of the Foscam, one is WiFi but White which is nice and the other is Ethernet and a bit cheaper still. Great work.
Attached is a screen shot of where I did it, you can see to the left the one I up loaded… It has all the path info on it. All I did was browse and select the file off my desk top and that is what I got… I just don’t know how to get it not to use the path in the name…
Try to do it from alternative browser
BTW, when you get it working, consider publishing it here

I have one of these Fascam cameras as well and would love to see it propeorly supported in Vera. They are great low-cost cameras.

I’m not sure if this is an official release.
Do not apply it to Foscam clones (danger of bricking).
Got the wireless to work now after i found out that the camera in wifi mode has a different ip adress and mac number than in wired mode. Anybody experinced short wifi range? I have mine about 10 meters from the router with one wall inbetween and the camera can not find the wifi
Edit: The new firmware improves the wifi a lot.
IP address shouldn’t be different if setup correctly, but MAC is set per network adapter - and camera has two: wired and wireless, hence two MACs
Both ip and mac change when going from cable to wifi in my setup. So to use it wifi in vera i need to setup using the wifi ip and mac, and it works perfect, also with pan and tilt.
Anybody that knows if it’s possible to stream video in Vera, not just a frame every 5s.
I bought 2 of these cams, one indoor and one of the outdoor models. They are AWFUL! The indoor cam never created or showed an IP address on my network, even after multiple restarts and resets. It seems to be completely DOA right out of the box and I can not get customer support to help (after 3 calls now). The outdoor one popped right up and worked great…until I set it up to be wireless (following the instructions on their website), then it just diapered from my network. Again, a bunch of resets and restarts and nothing.
Now I’ve asked Foscam for a RA# 3 times and they refuse to give me one. These cams are less than a week old now and as far as I can tell, they’re paper weights.
Are you completely sure it’s a real foscam. Many copies on the market. When setting up wireless, be sure to pull out the lan cable just as the cam is restarting(before the “click”).
Also notice when in wireless mode the ip adress change. I have just been in contact with Foscam support today regarding mail service setup and got super service, fast answer and problem solved. Try to upgrade to latest firmware. I got better wifi after that.
