Looks like your cam isn’t supported by https://github.com/fvdm/nodejs-foscam which is what i’m using in the module.
Could you have a look here http://foscam.us/forum/how-to-get-jpg-pictures-and-mj-stream-on-fi9821w-fi9801-02w-t4328.html and see if you can get a jpeg from your cam? If so i could try to incorporate it…

@RedNax I´m using a mjpeg stream to view my camera on my small magic mirror.
no need to tinker to support my “unsupported” cam. -
I got a FOSCAM FI-9805W, which seems also not supported. I think, there are different FOSCAM APIs out there.
My camera returns a JPG after this call:I’m not sure, which one the library uses? the one of the foscam forum works with me.

@desq How are you doing this?

@Vitiate I´m using the mjpeg-Stream from my ipCam;
document.getElementById("foscam").src = "http://0.0.0.0:Port/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=USER&pwd=PASS";

I am new to MagicMirror but do have several modules working, but no success with IpCam. The module is in the MMM-IpCam folder in magicMirror/modules but on startup the entire screen is black. If I remove MM-IpCam from the config file, everything comes back. I can successfully stream images from by camera and a web browser with: http://0.0.0.0:port/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=&pwd=. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Nice work!
Could it be used in conjunction with this?

I’m thinking of using a second Pi as a back up security system
i would appreciate this !

@Mitch1138 Usually a black screen indicates an error with the
config.js
file. It’s possible you made a minor mistake in the module’s configuration settings. If you post it here we can take a look at it and see if anything obvious shows up. -
Thanks for the help. All my other modules work fine. This is an F19831P and I can display a live stream by putting this address ina web browser: http://192.168.0.10:80/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=username&pwd=pw&t
Here is the code I put in the config.js:
{ module: 'MMM-IPCam', position: 'top_left', config: { invertColors: false, updateInterval : 10000, host: '192.168.0.10', port: 80, user: 'userpw', pass: 'pw' } },
