FOSCAM FI8918W and Motion
Question
I purchased the FI8918W because of the good ratings that I was reading about and I checked the Motion Wiki to see if was a device that someone had already tested with Motion and I was happy to see it was.. See the link below: http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WorkingDevices#Foscam I have tried for about a day to get this thing working and I have had zero luck. It appears that the camera is prompting for username\password even thought the username\password is passed in the URL.. Here is the Motion option line I am using: netcam_url http://192.168.0.60:80/videostream.cgi?user=admin?pwd=admin I also posted this same question in the Foscam forums as well. http://foscam.us/forum/post22554.html#p22554This URL works great in Chrome but appears it breaks from a Linux command line.. See below. [root@localhost motion]# curl http://192.168.0.60:80/videostream.cgi?user=admin?pwd=admin <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>401 Unauthorized</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#cc9999"><H4>401 Unauthorized</H4> Authorization required. </BODY></HTML> [root@localhost motion]# wget http://192.168.0.60:80/videostream.cgi?user=admin?pwd=admin --2013-02-28 19:46:29-- http://192.168.0.60/videostream.cgi?user=admin?pwd=admin Connecting to 192.168.0.60:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized Authorization failed. I can only assume this is what Motion is executing to get a snapshot from the camera. I'm hoping someone can help soon else I will need to go with a different camera mfg. Thanks in advance. Here is the error that Motion is throwing in the log up to the point it get and access denied and gives up.

Answer
Hi Your URL looks wrong. There should be only one ?-mark after the URL path, and then further parameters are separated by & Example http://host_name/path/Command?parameter1=value¶meter2=value¶meter3=value So try and replace the 2nd ? Mark by an & -- KennethLavrsen - 01 Mar 2013 I suggest using these settings: netcam_url http://CAMERA_IP/videostream.cgi netcam_userpass admin:password netcam_keepalive on -- PhilipTait - 28 Jul 2013 SupportForm edit
