Hi,
I have a doubt whether IP camera FOSCAM I9821w v2 supported in Vera1 or 2. Because In their help page Vera has only given Foscam model I9821 as supported but no mention about this item. Can someone guide me please.
Thanks
Srinivasan
I have two FI9821W-V2 cameras, firmware version 1.4.1.10. I connected them to my VeraLite, firmware version 1.7.583. You can add them as a standard IP camera and then install the FoscamHD app. It provides you with the I_FoscamHD.xml file you need for some of the extended features. Search the forum for Foscam and you will find a lot of helpful configuration information. You might want to start following http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,30635.0.html.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Recently got Foscam FI9821W V2 and could configure manually with help of posting in this forum. Unfortunately I could only get a still video in Vera2 (UI5) but no PTZ control possible. Any suggestions.
I believe the FoscamHD app does work with UI5 as well as UI7. I am running UI7 so I cannot verify the UI5 statement but, the forum link I posted above does say that in an earlier post. Anyway, you should load the app and then…
set the following in the Settings tab
IP = 192.168.X.XX
PORT = 88
USERNAME =
PASSWORD =
set the following in the Advanced tab
IP = 192.168.X.XX:88 (port 88 is the default for Foscam)
MAC = (vera has issues if you enter a MAC and the port is not 80)
IMPL_FILE = I_FoscamHD.xml
URL = /cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=&pwd=
DirectStreamingURL = /cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=&pwd=
Make sure you SAVE the new settings and then RELOAD ENGINE. Hope this helps.
Thank you. This worked for me. Earlier I had used FoscamPTZ plugin which didn’t work. After I changed to FoscamHD.xml it works. Thanks a lot.
