Problems with Foscam FI8910W

Configuration
21

As this thread helped me a lot getting my webcam to work, here my contribution for the FosCam 8910W:

camera:
 - platform: mjpeg
   name: Webcam
   mjpeg_url: http://IP:PORT/videostream.cgi?user=USER&pwd=PASSWORD

Of course, replace all UPPERCASE with the appropriate numbers/chars for you. the colon and port can be skipped if you did not change the default (as i did). Maybe in case of error, just add it (default is 88).

Maybe this helps another user.

and mine :

To see if motion is detected a command line sensor can be set up.
Sensor is updated every 5 seconds

- platform: command_line
  name: "Front Door Motion"
  command: 'curl -k --silent "http://ipaddress:port/get_status.cgi?user=xxx&pwd=xxx" | grep alarm | cut -b 18'
  value_template: >-
    {%- if value == "0" -%}
      Idle
    {%- elif value == "1" -%}
      Motion
    {%- endif -%}
  scan_interval: 5

Hallo keizer,

Ben je er inmiddels al achter of de onbekende FI9831P het doet of een of andere manier?
Krijg heb maar niet in mijn home assistant.

m.v.g.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I used your example to get my camera to show up in the ui. But, it only worked until I restarted home assistant. I’ve restarted several times since then but the camera is still not showing up. Any advice?
