I’ve had two Foscam security cameras (model ) for a few years, and I’ve been able to view their image and adjust their settings with no problems using the official plugin in Safari, which worked fine on Sierra too. However, I recently purchased a third camera (model ), and its plugin didn’t work with macOS Sierra. Thankfully, I stumbled upon in the Foscam forums that provided a working version of the plugin. I took the liberty of uploading to my blog as well, you can (here you can find.
UPDATE for macOS High Sierra The plugin still works with macOS High Sierra, but I found a newer version that works with more cameras, including the FI9851P V3 which I recently purchased. UPDATE for Safari 12 and macOS Mojave Foscam has published a new, different kind of plugin that works with Safari 12 and macOS Mojave. Newer firmwares for newer cameras (my FI9900EP does, for example) when trying to access their web UI from Safari. Their SSL certificate is broken but other than that the plugin installs and works just fine.
Again, I’m for posterity. Alternative solution for Safari 12 and macOS Mojave works fine, is a native Mac app and seems to have most of the features the web UI had (for example PTZ controls on my FI9828P V2 seem to be missing/not functional, I’ll have to investigate further on that). Install the app. Launch it.
Login as admin with no password. Add your cameras. Enjoy!
I took the liberty to, in case it should no longer be available from Foscam in the future. This entry was posted in and tagged,. Bookmark the.
This is fantastic I don’t know how you managed to find it, since I’ve spent so much time searching around the horribly convoluted and mis-represented multiple “foscam” websites / support forums. I found nothing but old plugins and a promise from a couple years ago to update the software to work better with multiple browsers including Chrome which is also broken and still not working. I was just about to give up on the Foscam cameras we have and find a new brand to start over with.
Still plan to do that soon, but at least now my cameras are visible again! Firmware is another issue for another time. I have an Ambient HD3 weathercam that I had installed on my Mac. I recently tried to access the camera but was unable to. When I get to the login page, it says the plugins are not installed.
They were before and everything was working. When I attempt to re-download the plugins it says my security settings won’t open from an unidentified developer. If I go to my security settings it only gives me the option to open from the App store, or the App store and identified developers.
There is an option to open plugins anyway. When I do that it runs the installation successfully. However, when I go back to login, it still says that the plugins are not installed. I have a Foscam F19828W PTZ camera wired. I see the camera on the equipment search tool but when I try to load it with a double click it tells me Plug in not found. I downloaded the Patch you posted but as soon as I hit the search tool it goes to Safari and camera page and the message is still on the log in page.?
I am running Mac OS High Seirra 10.13.6. Stumped as to what to try next and how do I stop Safari from loading as soon as I double click on the equipment Search tool. I can find it with VMS software but that is limited capability JUST STUMPED hope you can help. I did get it to show me the camera a couple of times.
In addition, this viewer lacks access to most of the other settings that were accessible via Safari, e.g. Mail settings for sending alarm alerts, ddns settings, basically all the stuff that makes these cameras usable for security — the current settings cannot be changed from this point forward without access to the camera GUI. The various iphone apps also have incomplete settings access, although better than this viewer.
This all constitutes a real problem, substantially reducing the usability of Foscam HD cameras. So far, Foscam technical support has only directed me to outdated OS Sierra plug-ins from September 2016 and info on how to open third party downloads in the OS security settings (which isn’t the problem in the first place). There is a firmware upgrade for R2 cameras (1.11.1.132.71.1.64) that can be upgraded via the Foscam phone app.
Once this upgrade is installed, if you then try to log in to the camera with Safari, you will again see the “download plugins” message/link. Click the link and install the package, after which you will no longer see any such messages, and you will be able to log in with Safari, and control/manage the camera as usual. I received the tip about the firmware upgrade from. I went ahead and tried it on one of my R2E cameras and it worked fine. Foscam VMS is barely usable: all video are recorder in this.vms format, that you can’t read on anything else but FoscamVMS making it useless for any kind of security purpose.
Plus, you can’t change the recording path it’s blocked. As the plugs in will not work anymore with the latest safari, I’m gonna advise everybody, including all my clients, to move from Foscam to another brand. As my boss found out this situation, he decided to remove all foscam cameras we got on site and back to D-Link system. They’re a little more expensive, but we’ll never have to worry about updates again. I have the Foscam C1 and ran the installer for the new “plug-in” but it doesn’t seem to work on Safari 12. As I understand it, Safari 12.0 completely eliminates plug-ins and extensionsall for your “security”.
It’s so secure we can’t even view our own security cameras! Thanks, Apple! I can use Foscam VMS, however without the web access I cannot figure out how to access the camera’s configuration to make changes. Agree with the previous poster; need to just ditch this camera and go with one that has proper support. I could find no way to access the original web interface of my Foscam FI9821W 2.1 on MacOS High Sierra or Mojave (Safari was supposed to be the only working browser, but not for me). Same for me Pat. I am on Mojave 10.14.2 I have tried all the solutions provided here.
The Mojave plugin Luca mirrored, or the newest on Foscams website, it is all not working. I took out fsIPCamReg.bundle from library/internet Plug-Ins and saw that all those installers do not install anything in here. Changing location for the installation on my external disk, it installed those two files FosIPCCore FosIPCCoreManager (no extension, system says they are exectutable unix files) and it created a “usr” folder on that drive and stored those unix files inside it in “local/bin” folder. I tried moving those files into library internet plugin folder, but to no effect. My camera login page still expects a plugin to be installed and does not log in to the camera.
I would be fine with FoscamVMS software, if it would be working properly. It does show the feed and basic controls, but “Setting” brings up an empty black window, so I am still not able to do any settings on the cameras.
