MMM-IPCam - Display images from your (foscam) ip camera

[Mitchfarino]

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;

Notification: GET_CAM Payload: [object Object]
Notification: GET_CAM Payload: [object Object]
{ undefined: 'undefined' }
{ undefined: 'undefined' }

@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…

@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.

@desq How are you doing this?

[desq]

@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.
