Here's what I got working with a Foscam FI9821 V2 (you can get them here: http://www.amazon.com/Foscam-FI9821W...ds=foscam+9821

These instructions assume you've first setup your camera on your network per Foscam's instructions and that you can operate the camera via it's built-in web server and your favorite browser. It assumes you've set a userid and password and if necessary changed the default port. If you follow Foscam's instructions you'll know what I mean.

This camera has the ability to produce two streams but out of the box both streams are HD. So first, you have to set the sub stream to MJPEG. Note however that since this is a HD camera, the MJPEG video is of much higher quality than a camera like the FI8918 (which I have 2 of as well, one in the stand and one monitoring the room). In fact, with Fusion you can add all 3 cameras and Fusion will cycle between their streaming feeds like a slide show.

Do this one time from your browser:

http://Your_Camera_IP_Address:Port/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=setSubStreamFormat&format=1&usr= User_Name&pwd=Password

You should receive this in return:

<CGI_Result>
<result>0</result>
</CGI_Result>


Now, setup a media stream with this:

http://Your_Camera_IP_Address:Port/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=User_Name&pwd=Pa ssword

If you get streaming video back, then you're good to add it to Fusion. Take the above URL and put it into a new media stream in Fusion.



Note: This has been tested on both Firefox and Chrome although it seems to work much better in Firefox. If you have trouble in Fusion, try it in a regular browser page first and make sure you refresh the page. Also, the HD MJPEG takes a few seconds to buffer up - so give it a bit of time - may take 10 - 20 seconds to start.

Add a new Media stream with the '+' button

Insert the URL string into the Media Details page:

Here's what it looks like with multiple streams. Video controls let you play, pause, skip, etc. The gear icon gets you into the setup screens.
