Foscam Clones

Sagitt: /* Foscam Forum Topic */

===Overview===

Foscam is one of the more popular makers of wireless IP Cameras priced towards the lower end of price ranges. Any other IP cameria that is compatible with Foscam tend to be called Foscam clones because of their popularity. Its also common to see compatible cameras called Unbranded IP Cameras or Chinese IP Cameras.

You can often tell the clones based on feature set alone. Cameras in this class support 3 resolutions (640x480, 320x240, 160x120), 3 frame rates (60Hz, 50Hz, and Outdoor), Pan+Tilt and either Zoom or Nightvision or both, ability to email and FTP images during motion detection, and streaming video to VLC client. There are more optional features but these are usually enough to detect clones.

These cameras tend to use similar set of hardware components and share a once common firmware code base. You can search for "Open IP Camera" for more information related to firmware and hardware.

Most information about interacting with these cameras can be found by searching for a PDF called "IPCAM CGI SDK 2.1". I also found it useful to use Firefox to monitor the requests posted to camera as I clicked on its web interface. You can do this by enabling Web Developer->Web Console menu option.

The following was tested on a Agasio a622w but should work with other brands of wireless IP cameras such as Foscam, EasyN, Wansview, and more.

===General Zoneminder Setup===

;General:
:Name: IPCAM
:Source Type: Remote
:Function: Modect
:Enabled: Tick
:Maximum FPS: Empty
:Alarm Maximum FPS: Empty
;Source
:Remote Protocol: HTTP
:Remote Method: Simple
:Remote Host Name: x.x.x.x (The IP used by camera)
:Remote Host Port: 99 (The Port used by camera)
:Remote Host Path: /videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd= (default user account)
:Remote Image Colours: 24 bit colour
:Capture Width: 320 (You could use 640 x 480, I found 320 to be better on wireles)
:Capture Height: 240
;Control
:Controllable: Tick
:Control Type: IPCAM (need to create this first using Edit link)
:Control Device: user=admin&pwd=
:Control Address: x.x.x.x:yy

===Foscam Forum Topic===
Follow the foscam forum topic for the new script for original foscam and upgraded clones: http://foscam.us/forum/post44816.html#p44816

===Control Setup===

Create /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/ZoneMinder/Control/IPCAM.pm with following contents. This script supports a superset of camera controls and should work with any Foscam compatible camera. If your camera doesn't have all features then they will be disabled in Zoneminder.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Stub documentation for ZoneMinder, created by h2xs. It looks like the
author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub
unedited.

Blah blah blah.

=head2 EXPORT

None by default.

Mention other useful documentation such as the documentation of
related modules or operating system documentation (such as man pages
in UNIX), or any relevant external documentation such as RFCs or
standards.

From here, Zoneminder must be configured to know about IPCAM controls. This is done by clicking the "Edit" link pointed out during general setup and then on the "Add New Control" button on new window.

Wake/Sleep control is mapped to IO ON/OFF Control. IO Control is sometimes used for IR LED Controls. If your camera does not support IO ON/OFF Control then leave the Wake/Sleep boxes unticked.

If your camera does not support Zoom then leave Has Zoom unticked.

The camera Tilt/Pan will work different then cameras Web interface. It will continously move until you click the middle circle to stop movement. If you prefer, you can set a non-zero value in the "Track Delay" box on Control tab so that movement will automatically stop after specified delay.

It would require an update to Zoneminder to behave like stock web interface. It sends Start Move on initial click and then Stop Move upon click release. That seems like a nice feature to build into Zoneminder to me.

Stub documentation for ZoneMinder, created by h2xs. It looks like the
author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub
unedited.

Blah blah blah.

None by default.

Mention other useful documentation such as the documentation of
related modules or operating system documentation (such as man pages
in UNIX), or any relevant external documentation such as RFCs or
standards.

Wake/Sleep control is mapped to IO ON/OFF Control. IO Control is sometimes used for IR LED Controls. If your camera does not support IO ON/OFF Control then leave the Wake/Sleep boxes unticked.

If your camera does not support Zoom then leave Has Zoom unticked.

The camera Tilt/Pan will work different then cameras Web interface. It will continously move until you click the middle circle to stop movement. If you prefer, you can set a non-zero value in the "Track Delay" box on Control tab so that movement will automatically stop after specified delay.

It would require an update to Zoneminder to behave like stock web interface. It sends Start Move on initial click and then Stop Move upon click release. That seems like a nice feature to build into Zoneminder to me.

This article assumes you have a basic understanding of Zone Minder. Fields that are up to the user to decide on are not listed.

The camera used in the screenshots has a hostname of "Monoculous-1", which is also the friendly name used in ZoneMinder. Hopefully you're a little creative and will have your own naming convention for your cameras, so you may have different names.

==Capabilities within ZoneMinder==
*Resolutions / frame rates
**Wired:
***640x480 @ 15fps (In well lit room)
***320x240 @ 30fps(?)
**Wireless:
***640x480 @ 9fps (In well lit room)
***320x240 @ 14fps (?)
*Control
**IR On/Off (Wake/Sleep)
**Reboot
**Movement
***Diagonal
***Continuous
**Tilt, Pan
***Variable speed possible, but not yet supported in Control Script
**Iris
***Brightness adjustment possible, but not yet supported in Control Script
**Presets
***8 presets, and home position

== Camera configuration ==
# Your camera should NOT be exposed to the Internet. There is no need for it, and it just poses the risk that others will do nasty things with it. Make sure your camera is on a local network only, and that it is pingable and accessible from your machine hosting your ZoneMinder installation. Instructions on doing this are out of the scope of this article.
# It can make your life simpler to have your camera registered with your local DNS server. Doing this is out of the scope of this article.
# The firmware utilized in this is the latest at time of writing, 11.22.2.38, with Web UI 2.4.18.17. This can be upgraded by downloading the firmware and following the instruction on Foscam's website[http://www.foscam.com/help.aspx?TypeId=11].
# It is recommended that you configure your camera with a separate visitor, operator, and admin password. This is done through the camera's web interface.
