Hi, I am new to EZB but I read much about it and I think we can benefit a lot out the HW and SW tools available.
I would like to have access to wifi ip cams single and multiple if possible , integrate it to the EZB software and use cam functionalities with ezb. I already ordered the wifi module to be able to connect using wifi at home. Your help is appreciated.

If you use this http://ipcam-url:port/videostream.cgi?user=username&pwd=password in web browser you can get live pic but cant use ezb color tracking etc.
forgot here is the link
Thanks Pitton, I will try tonight . However,using http://ipcam-url:port/videostream.cgi?user=username&pwd=password....did not show video it just downloading the Stream contents continuously as unlimited size file download.
http://ipcam-url:port/videostream.cgi?user=goeshere&pwd=goeshere
It shows live video for my cam, i put it in google not vlc
This shows the different syntax for different foscam models: http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=foscam
I would also mention that it probably needs an authentication parameter.

Prepare your URL in NOTEPAD. You can load NOTEPAD from the Start Menu, or press Windows-Key R, and type NOTEPAD and press ENTER.
Your URL will be one of the options from the webpage that I listed in my previous post. Swap out the PORT and IP ADDRESS with the camera's port and ip address. Also swap out the Username and Password with yours. For reference, webpage is here: http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=foscam
Select the URL line of text with your mouse. When selected (highlighted), select Edit and choose Copy. Or, you can press CTRL C. Ctrl C is windows shortcut command for COPY SELECTED TEXT.
At this point, we assume your URL is in the Windows Clipboard. The clipboard is a place that windows stores text that has been Copied or Cut.
Load ARC and press ADD CONTROL
Select CAMERA Category and add CAMERA DEVICE
Click the little DOWN ARROW next to VIDEO DEVICE
A Drop down opens. And there will be a flashing cursor in the TEXT AREA
Your video will begin playing if the JPEG stream is valid. Otherwise, you will see an error message.
@DJ i tried but does not work on my end,and when i try ezb locks up and won't let me exit or do anything have to use task manager to exit on both computers does it. EZB says i have the newest version
Yes, same problem. I tried video.cgi,videostream.cgi,videostream.asf.....does not show anything and does you need to call task manager to exit EZ-b howver, snapshot.cgi does work and it shows the jpeg image which is a picture and not a video stream.
Again, ASF is not JPEG.
Feeding ASF file to ARC will lock it up because its a never ending file download. Only streaming JPEG is supported. Please Reread my precious post and follow the link to obtain jpeg links for your model.
