Trying to add my IP camera (FI8909W) to Control Cube as a “Web View”. I have tried several different URLs that works on my computer, but not in Control Cube. The simplest one is http://10.0.0.9/live.htm which displays just fine in Safari on the iPad (with and without parameters for user/pwd), however when entering the exact same URL as a web view in CC I only get a black window. In Safari it displays properly. I would imagine that Control Cube used Safari for web view?
Another version I tried was http://10.0.0.9/videostream.cgi (with and without parameters for user/pwd/resolution/rate etc.) and it displays just a snapshot. This one is the same in Safari (works in Firefox on my computer though).
Control Cube does use exactly a web view popup which is an instance of safari. So it is weird that your live.htm page is working on safari but not on Control Cube.
I will have access to a FOSCAM on Sunday afternoon, Ill test this out and get back to you about it on the same day.
UPDATE: I got to try a FOSCAM on Control Cube, you are correct in your results. I will be trying to figure out how to integrate Foscam over the next few days, worst comes to worst, I suppose we will have to create a plugin for it.
This is now fixed and updated in Version 1.5 of Control Cube. V1.4 is already submitted to apple and will take 2-3 more days to be out. While v1.5 will take approximately 7 days from today.
When you want to add the FOSCAM to V1.5, make sure first to create a new User in the FOSCAM user settings. The user can be a “Visitor” not Admin. set any username and password. For example username is GR and pass GR. Then in Control Cube. Add WebView->under URL you should specify the following exactly:
192.168.2.46/videostream.cgi?user=GR&pass=GR
btw, with without “http://” will not matter, the app corrects the URL on its own.
Also, this should work on pretty much any camera not necessarily FOSCAM.
I have tested this on a FOSCAM and it works perfectly, thanks for your patience
