Foscam 9802W
I can't get SecuritySpy to connect to my Foscam 9802W.
It has a static IP at 10.1.10.9
I have the HTTP port set to 80 and the media port set to 8099
Username is admin . I deleted all other users on the camera
I upgraded the firmware. On the settings screen (via http://10.1.10.9) I see the "app firmware" is 1.2.1.1 and the "system firmware" is 1.4.1.12
I tried a few CGI URLs from a user guide I found (http://foscam.us/forum/how-to-fetch-snapshots-and-mjpeg-stream-on-the-fi9821w-02w-t4328.html) but none helped.
http://10.1.10.9/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=admin&pwd=xxxx&cmd=setSubStreamFormat&format=1
Returns:
0
But this doesn't really get me far. I am able to fetch a (low resolution) JPEG snapshot via:
http://10.1.10.9/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=admin&pwd=xxx
On Chrome the snapshot refreshes, but it's terribly low resolution.
I can't figure out what to fill in the Add Camera dialog to get it to work.
I have two of these cameras (already bolted to my house) so I'm pretty motivated to get it working.
Thanks for any help! Andrew

You don't want to set the stream format to 1 using the setSubStreamFormat command. This will set it to JPEG mode, and as you've seen this is severely limited in quality and resolution. You should set it back to 0 using this URL:
http://10.1.10.9/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=admin&pwd=xxxx&cmd=setSubStreamFormat&format=0
Then, you will need to set the HTTP port in the camera back to 88 (for some reason, setting it to anything other than 88 breaks RTSP streaming).
Then, set up the camera in SecuritySpy 3.0.4 using the FI9821W profile in the Video Device Settings window. Leave both port boxes empty.
Does this work? If not, try a reset of all settings (there is an option via the camera's web interface for this), and try again, this time without using the setSubStreamFormat command.
Worked! Just bought a four-camera license
Thanks, Andrew
