I’ve just installed HA on a rpi-4 and while it’s been a breeze at beginning, I’m now having trouble with foscam integration.
I have a foscam C1 which has been working well with foscam’s cloud for years, so we can assume :
It’s correctly set up : I have a foscam account (login+pwd) and the C1 has its own login+pwd
It’s correctly wired to the Internet, with reliable, stable ethernet cable
My problem is : when I fill in the form asking for connection info (host; port; username; pwd; stream; RTSP port) and submit it, I get this error message : “Failed to connect”.
I went to HA logs but didn’t find anything useful.
host:port should be correct because I found them directly in foscam android app.
Camera’s own login+pwd are correct too as I’ve just tried and succeeded in modifying them in foscam android app.
For RTSP port, I tried the default (554) as well as 88 because I saw it helped someone else on another topic but no success for me.
I’ve run out of ideas and hope someone here will have the answer!
I have a similar issue. Have you had any luck resolving?
I get ‘invalid authentication’ though. I use the ip for host. If I deliberately put in a wrong IP the error changes to ‘failed to connect’. So I know I have that right. I log into the app over and over to confirm correct user:pass but no matter what I try HA says invalid authentication.
I just wanted to reply that I neither be able to bring my C1 into Home Assistant. But finally it was just a different PW then i use to login via Foscam VMS. Little strange, but i guess this cheap cam has a local user which seems to have a different pw.
So C1 is working now fine for me and this just with default settings. No Configuration.yaml to change or whatever.
