definitely will Try this tonight!
Hello everyone,
I would like to add a Foscam 9828P V2 and 9821P
My system is a VeraLite running UI5 and I have installed plugin 1978 for older cams and this new plugin 8191
Could someone post or guide me to a step by step procedure of how to add these cams to my Vera??
Up to now I have only errors like “unable to get image from your camera”
Thank you

Sorry for the late reply, but I only saw your post today.
The http://cameraIP:port//cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=admin&pwd= was just to illustrate the Foscam SDK command to check if the motion sensor is tripped.

Tomvan,
Would you be able to explain how you got the motion sensors to work?[/quote]
Hi Randmness
I use the following command from the Foscam SDK:
http://cameraIP:port//cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=admin&pwd=
This returns the following (you can check it in a browser):
<CGI_Result>
0
0
1
0
0
0
0k
0k
1
0
xxxxxxxxx
0
0
0
</CGI_Result>
IOAlarm will return 0 if disabled, 1 if no alarm and 2 if an alarm is detected.
I then use luup.inet.wget with the above URL in a scene (which I trigger periodically) to get the response, parse it and depending on the response change the status of a Virtual Motion Sensor.

Dear Tomvanbreda,
I see that you managed to get motion sensor to work on the foscam. I got everything working with this plugin except for the motion sensor.
Could you please describe the procedure for a complete non-expert (I just got my micasaverde)? Or is that too complicated?
E.g. Where did you put this command: http://cameraIP:port//cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=admin&pwd=
How do you access and use the luup.inet.wget?
I would really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.[/quote]
I created a scene with a Schedule of every 10 seconds.
The I placed the code (see post 56) in the section “Also, execute the following Luup code:”
Note: I use a Virtual Sensor plugin.[/quote]
Hi, did all the steps and replaced the x and y with my parameters, but I get an:
ERROR : Error in lua for scenes and events
Any idea’s where to look?
I get the same error. Were you able to resolve this?
Would be great if I can use the camera as a motion sensor…
Thanks!
Hello,
I’ve a VeraEdge (software version 1.7.2607) and I’m trying to add two Foscam FI9853EP (System Firmware Version 1.5.3.19
Application Firmware Version 2.22.2.27).
The controller does not automatically detect it, and when manually adding it no combination of settings work.
The snapshot URL works fine, if I enter: http://192.168.178.25:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxi.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture&usr=admin&pwd=
into a browser I get a snapshot image.
I’ve tryed installing the “Foscam IP camera” and the “foscam HD” app, but none of them worked…
I’ve also followed titof174’s istruction (http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=36878.0) with no success…
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance,
Nicola
does this plugin support the Foscam 720p and 1080p PoE NVR kits cameras?
Bump.
I’d like to buy this NVR Foscam kit but I’d really like to know if this plug would support the cameras. Many thanks.

Make sure the username and password doesn’t have any special characters in it - numbers and letters only. Vera doesn’t handle them gracefully in a URL, I got caught out by this and the solution was to create an operator account on each camera for Vera with a suitable password.

If by support you mean display camera feed in the Vera UI by retrieving JPG’s by the snapshot URL, then yes.
Hi,
I have a Foscam C1 (v2) and, thanks to the instructions found in the forum, I have successfully managed to use it on the VeraPlus.
Problems:
-
no interaction of sort: the video is shown, snapshots are taken and scenes somewhat work, but I cannot see if it records the videos (where is the video stored?),
-
using Imperihome (free for now) I can see the video from the camera only in the local network, but not when I connect using mobile or other wifi wlans…
Any help around, please? 
Granted, I am really a newbie, but I expected the Vera could manage simple things such as this camera a little better…
