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

RedNax

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

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?

@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.
