A little help with a couple of cameras? [SOLVED]

Legsmaniac

Pretty please?
I have set up Monocle with Gateway and it’s working great with several of my Foscam cameras with both my Echo Show 5 and Echo Spot. However, I have two cameras I’m struggling with.

One is a Sricam SP009A and despite following several suggestions I’ve found on this forum, it’s no go. I’ve tried all sorts of ways. Tried with and without port number, tried tunnel and proxy, also tried noaudio, etc. Has anyone here got a Sricam SP009 and successfully set it up?

And lastly, I am struggling also with a Foscam C1. As above. I’ve litterally spent hours on and off trying various settings.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I have had a similar Sricam model working in the past, but I have not tested the SP009A.
If I really correctly, this camera needed to use either @proxy or @proxy-tcp and may have also needed @noaudio as well.

Feel free to post a snippet from the monocle gateway log while you are requesting this camera and we can take a look and see if there is anything obvious.

Thanks, Robert

Yes, I have tried those you say should work, amongst others.

OK, with the setup @proxy and @noaudio, 720P res, H264 and Audio Codec NONE, this is what Gateway responds with…

@Legsmaniac said in A little help with a couple of cameras?:

ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8554

OK, I think this :

ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8554

is a problem.

Are you running this gateway on windows? If so, please simply restart the gateway and share the log from the startup messages. Looking to see if the “monocle-proxy” process is failing for some reason.

Thanks, Robert

Legsmaniac

Would it really be failing if all the other cameras work? I mean, for example, even after trying to call for the Door Camera (Sricam) which fails (as above), I can call for any of the Foscam cameras successfully.

And yes, it’s running on Windows 10.

@Legsmaniac

If using a camera with @tunnel it may still be working but if using @proxy I would expect it to fail based on the error I am seeing.

Make sure to install this dependency and restart the gateway service …

1.) Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Dependencies.

Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistribution Package directly from Microsoft for Windows here. This package installed the underlying dependencies for Monocle Gateway.

Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) from Official Microsoft Download Center

After download, please install this package from the installer file.

@Legsmaniac

It could also be a Windows firewall issue … if Windows firewall is enabled you might try temporarily disabling it to see if that helps.

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

The C++ Redists fixed it. And the Foscam C1 now works with @proxy.

All sorted now, thank you SO much. You can mark this topic Solved.

Glad to hear it and you are most welcome!
