I almost forgot...if you add the command "vlc://quit" at the end, it closes VLC at the end of the recording session.

@ping2low
Thanks for the tip. If you add ":run-time=###" (without quotes), it will limit recording time of stream. Example of 15 second recording: vlc.exe http://User:Password@192.168.0.1/videostream.asf :run-time=15 :sout=#std{access=file,demux=dump,dst=F:\webcam\WEBCAM.avi}

Looking for command to password the user name & password in command line for VLC...anyone? Once you can pass this, you should be able to stream & record the stream. Suggestions?

@Ale,
As IP Vision pro claims supporting Foscam, it should be possible. You should see that with their support: support@ttrix.com

Thanks for advertising to this iPhone application.... maybe your own application. I looked and it's a shame it can control and monitor only one camera.

tx bubbah - some minutes ago i got a 'brain-flash' - i changed the APN of the provider from 'internet.t-mobile.de' to 'internet.t-d1.de' - .............and it works! Maybe the second one has less restrictions ore the public ip plays any rule.... however - thank you very much for your support!

2010-04-15T12:33:06.522+01:00

@paul
it seems you've setup your access properly and if it works from the browser it should work with any other software. Maybe you have to set some permissions to use internet for that camera viewer on your phone? Normally the phone should prompt you for such permission when needed but I can't say for your model.
Another thing could be a restriction from the mobile operator (sometimes only port 80 is accepted for HTML). Are you able to access your camera using an url finishing by http://camrul:port/snapshot.cgi on your phone's browser ?

@Bubbah

tx for fast answering! You are right - my cell phone is able to enter the foscam-demonstration-page and works fine - but it is not able to enter my own foscam. My ddns-settings are ok - can see my cam on the internetbrowser but not on the cell-phone.

have you any idee whats wrong there??

assuming that the F480 can run java programs, the J2ME camera viewer presented above should work.

@Dragon,
videostream.cgi does not transport audio, but if you manage to use videostream.asf, then you get sound. I'm just not sure it work with WebcamXP or any other one. I've only used it with VLC so far.

Hello, there's a nice iphone app that cost 1,59€ named Foscam IP Control. You will imagine what cam is it made for ... :-D
It have a simple and wonderful interface. Simple configuration as: insert url, username and password (in diferent boxes).
I miss the horizontal interface with fullscreen. But hope it gets better.

Also the great software for mac Evocam supports the foscam, you just have to select network camera, then input the url, select "Generic Network Camera" and the path: /videostream.cgi and the username and password.

Thanks for the page with all the info!
