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?

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.
