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

RedNax

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.

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' 
			}
        	},

I have a night owl camera system and was wondering if this particular module would work with those? Me module was previously titled for only foscam but I am not sure if it would work with all IP camera systems.

Thanks.
