@dj: thank you for the detailed procedure. I did follow and tried all options. As i said, It did work For me on snapshot and not mpeg stream. Since it did not work also in IE web browser . I tried chrome ...it works. I tried from my other Mac machine the video streaming was also fine in safari. probably I need to install directshow ,filter or I have to fix something with my window 7 machine before configuring ez-b as it should be straight forward step. I will fix it up for sure ....i will have to work on the window machine later this week Thx for your support and follow up.

To clarify: JPEG stream is a stream of jpegs. ASF is a video stream.

If you're viewing a stream of video in your web browser, then it is not a JPEG. A JPEG stream is a stream of JPEGs. For example, in a JPEG Stream each frame is a separate JPEG. If the URL Link displays a single image in your web browser, then it is a JPEG. If the URL Link displays a moving video, then it is video.

A Jpeg is a single frame. A JPEG stream is a stream of jpegs.

Please follow the procedure that I posted earlier. Use the link that I had provided to get the URL for a JPEG for your camera. The URL must be a JPEG, and not an ASF. JPEG's are single frames, or single pictures. A JPEG Stream is a stream of jpegs.

Verify the URL you create displays a single JPEG in your web browser. If it displays a single JPEG, then it is a JPEG and can be added as a JPEG Stream. A JPEG stream is a stream of JPEGS.

You do not want to add a video link to the ARC Camera Control. If you add a video link, ARC will lock up.

@DJ : As I said ealier , It is working using format http://IP:port/snapshot.cgi?user=XXX&pwd=YYYY to show a Jpeg picture.

I just noticed that the picture is updating but very slowly almost 1 f/s using the processed Video TAB, Realtime Video TAB gives black screen. I can see that there is adrawback, pictures update are very slow and not as accessing Bluetooth Camera or direct video streaming.

Thanks again for your support.

Real time video will only work for real time devices connected directly to your PC via USB

If the frame is updating only 1 per second, then decrease the resolution in the camera administration interface (not in ARC). What you are experiencing is a delay in network speed due to image size and processing CPU usage if the image is large.

Glad to hear you figured it out

@DJ thanks for taking the time to explain it better, now I understand

Thank you all for your support. Really great and even using controllers and wii to control the it with the httpget command...looking forard to get my second kit. still showing "processing order".

I found an important file (link below) that can be useful for others who are interested in Foscam IPCAM SDK and Control.

Thx again.

Foscam File

Hi hi am out , did you ever get ARC to view the cam? I'm reading specs and it says that it is mpeg video format. I have this foscam on the way as well as a few other ip cameras to try out with ARC.

Foscam cameras work, my TLCs are foscam clones and they work fine in ARC
