I have a sricam ap003.
I am trying to add it via the add device wizard but it cant seem to find the camera image.
I select manual add then enter the url for the image as follows:
http://192.168.0.37/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=admin&14403449741120.5832075663321694
Then I select cam as genericIP and it changes the URL to
http://192.168.0.37/img/snapshot.cgi?size=640x480&quality=4
Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to work
Any thoughts on what Im doing wrong
Can anyone help me with this one?
Hi
Did you get it working?
unfortunately not. I was hoping someone on here could have helped.
You might try looking it up on this page. You can click on the model number you have and fill in the info and it will generate a url for you. Hope this helps.
col8eral, the ispyconnect webpage does indicate two possible connections for your camera. They are “snapshot.cgi?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]” or “cgi/snapshot.cgi?action=getdata&channel.[CHANNEL].capture=true&channel.[CHANNEL].resolution=1”. I am not sure where you are getting the additional “&14403449741120.5832075663321694” listed in your first post. What do you get if you put the link into your web browser? Does it give you an image from your camera? You need to verify that first. If you have added the camera as a generic in Vera check the following settings.
device_type: urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:DigitalSecurityCamera:2
ip: 192.168.0.37
mac: <you didn’t specify in your post>
device_file: D_DigitalSecurityCamera2.xml
impl_file:
username: admin
password: admin
device_json: D_DigitalSecurityCamera2.json
URL: snapshot.cgi
If the one above doesn’t work for you, try “cgi/snapshot.cgi”. That seems more in line with the standard URL configurations. Don’t forget, you should get an image directly from your web browser if the link is valid for your camera. So, try one of the following:
http://192.168.0.37/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=admin
http://192.168.0.37/cgi/snapshot.cgi?action=getdata&channel.0.capture=true&channel.0.resolution=1
I am using my Amcrest Camera configuration as the example I suggest above. My Vera URL is “cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=0”. My web browser URL is “http://192.168.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=0”. This gives me a still image. It updates every time I refresh.
Hi
I have the AP003 working perfect with the exception it shows dropped, it however is not and still does what it needs to.

Hi Guys
I have been trying your suggestions but I get a message mack from my vera saying unable to connect.
If I enter http://192.168.1.167/snapshot.cgi in my browser I see an image of my Ap003
However when I try putting that into the vera (UI5) it says unable to connect. This is what Im doing:
i got to ‘devices>add devices’ then ‘i want to add an IP camera’
then click ‘add manually’
Then I enter the URL
http://192.168.1.167/snapshot.cgi
then select from the drop down ‘generic ip cam’
then enter the password and username
After clicking next it returns ‘unable to detect camera’
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks
I know I had to add the port onto the end of the IP address
so http://192.168.1.167:port#/snapshot.cgi
not sure if this is needed for this type of camera but it did for foscam
hope it helps
It has been a while since I did mine but, I believe I got the same message. Simply ignore the message and click NEXT to continue on. Go to your camera devices and you should find the new camera listed. Go into the camera device and check the settings mentioned in the previous messages. Some of the settings may get messed up during the creation. Your camera uses port 80 unless you have changed it in your camera so, you shouldn’t need to enter the port. I normally go into the camera device after a new add to fix any missing entries before things work. Don’t forget to enter the username and password at the Device Settings before you go into the Advanced Settings.
Hi Kendad
Just a quick couple of questions
Many thanks
PS - how do I get all the settings in a text format like you have posted here so I can post mine?
First off, my system is a VeraPlus with firmware 1.7.1754. I just stepped through the process of creating a new camera device and here are the steps.
Go to Cameras
Click Add Camera
Select IP Camera - Generic IP Camera
Click Next
Click Next
Select Manually install the camera (advanced)
Name = MyCam03
Camera Type = Other IP Camera
URL = 192.168.XXX.XXX/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=1
IP = (unable to enter numbers)
Username = admin
Password = admin
Room =
Click Next
Click Next
Go back to Cameras and you should find a new device. Go into the Settings and then Advanced Settings to verify the information is correct. As for the annotating settings in text format, I actually manually type my settings into a word document each time I set up a device just in case I have a failure and need to rebuild. Lots of manual labor butt, saved my but a few times with Vera. Just saved the steps I typed above into a text file and placed in my Vera Camera folder on my home FreeNAS server.

Thank you very much.
I wonder if the problems Im having is a firmware issue. I am running Veralite and UI5. Wonder if I shouldnt update to UI7.
It would be interesting to know if anyone else is running a Sricam AP003 on UI5.
Its weird. in my browser http://192.168.1.168/snapshot.cgi returns an image from the CAM. But I cant get an image using that URL in Vera.
Word of warning. I see lots of horror stories about people trying to upgrade. I always do a clean install for a major upgrade. I go into my existing Vera and exclude all my z-wave devices. I uninstall all my apps. I even delete all of my Wifi devices. Then I do a factory reset on the Vera. After all that, I do a firmware upgrade and then add back all the devices from scratch. That is one of the reasons I take the time to do a text file for everything. Vera is unique in many cases with devices they do not directly support. I keep good notes to remind me of the odd things I have done to get my devices to work with my Vera.
Here is what my vera3 on ui5 uses to access 192.168.1.1:8080/photo.jpg on an old Android phone:
IP: 192.168.1.1:8080
URL: /photo.jpg
Port goes on the end of the IP
Slash at the start of the url
So
IP: 192.168.1.168
URL: /snapshot.cgi
It took a couple of minutes for it to start working. I am still working on getting it accessible remotely but I think my camera is on the wrong wifi subnet.
Im not having any luck
My AP003 provides a still image in my browser on:
http://192.168.1.167/snapshop.cgi
and a video image in my browser on:
http://192.168.1.167/videostream.cgi
But no luck in my Vera UI5.
Here’s my settings from my Vera device “settings” tab:

The only thing that sticks out to me is the leading slash “/” in your URL. I don’t believe you should have a leading slash. Your URL should be “snapshot.cgi” without a leading slash. Same thing goes for the DirectStreamingURL. The only other difference I see is the “DigitalSecurityCamera1” versus “DigitalSecurityCamera2”. I don’t believe that would create a problem since the only difference in the files is the Motion Service in 2. Might not get that feature but, don’t think it would keep you from displaying an image.
Thank you. I have tried both your suggested changes but unfortunately it hasn’t worked. I still cant see an image.
I saw this elsewhere and thought it might be worth looking at.
And I quote: “Try viewing the camera in your web browser on your home network. When you see an image from the camera try saving that image location. For example, in Internet Explorer, you right click on an image and, if it’s a standard still image, you have the option “Copy Image” and “Copy Image Location”. If you can copy the image location, you’ll end up with something like: http://192.168.1.115/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Standard. In that case, your IP 192.168.2.115, the URL is: SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Standard.”
Hope it helps.

When I right click the image in the browser I get
http://192.168.1.167/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=admin&14658428491500.9589086446775277
So I have been using 192.168.1.167/snapshot.cgi But this isnt returning an image in UI5.
This is so frustrating.
