Foscam C2 not working

Need Answer

Let me start by mentioning that I have searched a lot on the web and within the community but did not find a solution.


I'm trying to connect a Foscam C2 with Zipabox and get to the point where it takes snapshots but still have the following problems:


- FTP Upload does not seem to work. When I log into ftp.zipato.com all folders incl. the Snap folder seem empty. I am aware that this was a problem earlier and am not sure if it is still one.


Streaming video doesn't work, I use rtsp://IP:Port/VideoMain and rtsp://IP:Port/VideoSub in the cam settings as Foscam and Zipato support suggest. I am using port 88 as I can take snapshots with it seems to be correct.

Interesting is that with VideoMain I only see the „flowplayer" screen with 3 blinking dots. When I then switch to VideoSub the screen turns white and the message „Adobe Flash is disabled for this website, click player area to enable“. I can click anywhere and it still doesn’t work unfortunately


Has anyone managed to connect a Foscam C1 or C2 incl. streaming video and FTP upload successfully?


Thanks for helping


Steffen


My environment


- MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.12.2


- opening Zipabox UI with Google Chrome Google 55 with the plugin „Adobe Flash Player V24" set to „always allow execution“ ( due to the Flash error message above)

Thanks Patrick, I have tried with both, the 10.0.0.1:554 and my own IP, also with port 88 instead of 554. Also synced after every change. No success unfortunately. Same behavior as described in my question, 3 blinking dots in VideoMain and the flash message in VideoSub.


The snapshot link you provided is the one I use and this one works. Pictures are taken, however not uploaded to the FTP server....


Maybe Zipabox support can enlighten us? The C2 was added by IP and not detected automatically...

It also depends what browser are you using. For ezample i have different interface via chrome and firefox. For example in firefox i have option to select remote or local and in chrome not.
