I choose “manually add”, enter snapshot url (http://192.168.1.239:81/media/?action=snapshot), login/password and get “Unable to get image from your camera.” error message. Why?
I ssh’ed to the box, but was unable to find any error messages, where should I look for it?
btw, when I just received vera with outdated firmware i was able to add this camera, but not now on 1.5.622.
ps is there a way to tilt it via vera lite? Corresponding http requests are clear from its web-interface (for example, /media/?action=cmd&code=2&value=1 is moving it up).
That looks a lot like a re-branded Foscam camera (which also relies on a /snapshot.cgi URL). I would try the Foscam plugin (VistaCam PT&HD IP Cameras) from the app marketplace … store … place.
Web discussions of Tenvis seem to refer to it “copying” the Foscam line, as opposed to being related to it, so the theory could be off-base. However, the level of resemblance seems to go well beyond copying.
I am assuming you entered in the appropriate IP address, and login information. I recall that this plugin works erratically. A few times, I abandoned it entirely, only to have the cameras mysteriously resurface at a later date. It may take some fiddling, but doing so assumes that the theory has some basis. Hopefully someone else has some input.
Hi I am using two tenvis cams with vera lite for this create a new device
Put your camera ip with port
For device file use D_DigitalSecurityCamera2.xml
For impl file use I_FoscamPTZ.xml
Use your cameras user name and password
For URL use /snapshot.cgi
And hopefully it should work after a lot of hunting on this forum I was able to use both my camera
With ver lite
Hello Djenlyte, thanks for the post re Tenvis cameras at least someone has got them working, I tried to follow your instructions but still no luck, do I put the user name and password in the URL along with the IP address and snapshot.cgi?
Alternatively could you post a screen shot of the setup please, sorry If I am being a bit thick here, thanks
Ok finally go one camera working one of my older ones and it pans and tilts, but the new 2013 models don’t seem to work, has anyone got these working, thanks
