First of all, thanks for all of your hard work on this. 

I have wirepath IP cameras which are capable of several forms of local and remote live streaming. I'm not a pro, so I might be overlooking something obvious. It looks like ONVIF and RTSP are not quite up and working yet, or I'm not using the features correctly, perhaps a camera setting. 

Here is a link to the manual for the camera in case you are not familiar
https://www.snapav.com/wcsstore/Extende ... Manual.pdf

If you have any ideas please advise. 

Thanks,

Hi,

ONVIF and RTSP are not yet available, right now you can only use mjpeg (or jpeg). You will have to find the link for mjpeg stream for your camera to make it work.

Will this connect to a Blue Iris IP Camera Server, using that server's IP address and port? If so, can it be made to select cameras or cycle through them?

TIA.

I'm not 100% sure what are the URLs for the "Blue Iris IP Camera Server", but from what I found it should be something like this for mjpeg:
http://server_ip:port/mjpg/0/?
and this for snapshots:
http://server_ip:port/image/0/?
Replace 0 with the channel number for each camera. If this looks right, try adding a camera in IP Camera Viewer and select Blue Iris from Example Cameras (I just added this brand). Fill in the IP, port, login, password, and then in MJPEG and JPEG link, replace 0 with the camera channel you want to see. Let me know if this works. 
To add multiple cameras, do the same for all other cameras and replace the 0 with the channels for the respective cameras.

New version (2.4) submitted for publishing. 
Now in Edit/Add camera dialog, the password is masked by dots (see bellow). There are also few code improvements making the stream handling faster.

You should try to find what's the link for the MJPEG stream using a browser. For example, many Foscam cameras work like this:
For mjpeg: http://camera_ip:camera_port/videostrea ... =32&rate=0
For snapshots: http://camera_ip:camera_port/snapshot.cgi?user=username&pwd=password&resolution=32&rate=0
If those uri work with your camera, just select Foscam in Example cameras when you add a camera. If those values do not work, then you'll have to try and find the ones that work using your browser.

So the url for the "examples" for foscam are correct? Are they tested. ?
Because I have several models and none of them work. ex FI9821W

Yes, the URL works for some foscam cameras, the problem is that those cameras work different depending on the model. You can try following this post and let me know if you have any success:
http://foscam.us/forum/how-to-fetch-sna ... t4328.html
If the login/password needs to be in the URL (like ... &usr=admin&pwd=pass ) replace where the username needs to be with {0} and where the password needs to be with {1}:
&usr={0}&pwd={1}
and the application will replace those with your login and password.

your URL in your app is not within the /cgi-bin/.  I have not seen any documentation wtih foscam in the root directory , so im wondering if they are correct.


  I happen to have 2 of the model numbers. I will try it out.

Yes, I have two Foscam FI8906W's that work with this app/channel. They are a pretty generic Foscam MJPEG camera and work with the Foscam FI8908W, FI8918W configuration. I also have a Foscam FI9821W V1 HD camera that uses a separate media port. I haven't been able to figure out how or if it even can be connected. What models are you trying to connect?
