  • I am running a Vu+ Duo2 with OpenVix v4.2.005 and i have 4 Foscam FI9818W, and i am having trouble connecting to the cameras.


    I have setup the Names, IP addresses, port numbers, admin username and password but am still unable to connect.


    I am unsure of the following options and whether they are correct or not (I left them default and didnt change them)
    compled url to jpg
    addition
    jpg-path
    video-url


    Any help is greatly appreciated


    Thanks

  • Ok so i have this much incase it of any help to anyone else.


    For the Foscam FI9818W:
    - camoFS setting needs to be Foscam (variant 2)
    - If you have multiple camera and set camoFS to cycle through each camera, if you set the interval to anything lower than 15 seconds then the main viewing window will remain blank as camoFS will have cycled to the next camera before it is able to display that snapshot from the camera.
    - The onscreen keyboard is a total pain in the butt. If you try and move the cursor left it will jump the cursor to the beginning of the line you are typing instead of jumping through each character of the line/sentence.


    I don't think it live streaming is supported from the Foscam FI9818W because it streams MPEG. Correct me if i am wrong.
