Click the wrench icon again and change the “State” variable under “Advanced” from “-1” to “2”. Under Settings->URL use this URL insead of just “/snapshot.cgi” “/snapshot.cgi?user=&pwd=”. Click the wrench icon on the newly created camera device (“Foscam Camera”). We will change this URL soon to take into account Foscams latest FW with changes in security protocols.ħ. Replace the double “//” before snapshot.cgi in the URL with a single “/”. Choose “Foscam Camera” under “What type of camera is it?”. Fill in the cameras IP under “Or, if your camera is not on the list, paste the URL which returns a JPG file in the box below”. Devices->Add Devices->I want to add an IP Camera->Manually addĥ. Make sure plugin #3866 “VistaCam SD, PT & HD for UI5” and/or plugin #2158 “Wintop zCam IP Camera” is NOT installed.Ĥ. Setup->Net & Wi-fi->Uncheck “Auto detect devices on my home network” (unclear if this is necessary, but I think it prevents plugin #3866 “VistaCam SD, PT & HD for UI5” and/or plugin #2158 “Wintop zCam IP Camera” from being automatically installed)ģ. On the Vera, go to Setup->Unit settings->Do you want to secure this Vera?->“No” (unclear if this is necessary)Ģ. Make sure this work standalone before trying to get it to work in Vera… Also make sure the cameras have the latest FW (my FW on the 8910W is 11.37.2.59 with web UI 2.4.10.10 and my FW on the 8918W is 11.37.2.48 with web UI 2.4.10.2).ġ. You will need to set up e-mail under “Mail Service Settings” and enable motion detection under “Alarm Service Settings”. Yes, 0! Set up the Foscams to work as motion sensors using the built-in UI. I now present my own step-by-step guide for getting the Foscam 8910W and 8918W cameras to work as motion sensors with Vera!Ġ. The final piece was with the help of this post. I have had some real trouble with getting my two Foscam IP cameras (8910W and 8918W) to work as cameras and motion sensors in Vera ( ).
