Foscam FI9803P V2 - Not able to get image

Question

I am trying to configure the Foscam FI9803P V2 camera and it is not working.
Hi,

My configuration file is:

netcam_url http://URL:8094/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=USR&pwd=PWD
netcam_keepalive on
netcam_tolerant_check on
text_left Test
target_dir /public/camaraip
snapshot_filename TEST_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S-snapshot
movie_filename TEST_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S
stream_port 9094

Using the http address I am able to get the snapshot for the camera.

Error log:
[4] [WRN] [ALL] [Apr 18 09:57:20] motion_loop: Retrying until successful connection with camera
[4] [ALR] [NET] [Apr 18 09:57:20] netcam_start: Network Camera thread starting... for url (http://url:8094/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=USR&pwd=PWD)

[4] [ERR] [NET] [Apr 18 09:57:20] netcam_http_request: Error reading first header - re-trying

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
