@desq

Could cou examine the pm2 logs for more information? ~/.pm2/logs
The screenprint is not very helpful i’m afraid…

Nice work!

Could it be used in conjunction with this?

I’m thinking of using a second Pi as a back up security system

Not much more info…
As seems as if the img url is still a xml-Object;

@desq What’s the entire content of img tag in your screenshot? Could it be that your cam’s not compatible maybe?

[desq]

seems to be the issue. (my Foscam FI9853EP)
Here is content of the “Object”;

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…

[desq]

@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:

• http://192.168.x.x:8080/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=XXX&pwd=xxx&cmd=snapPicture2

I’m not sure, which one the library uses? the one of the foscam forum works with me.
