Sorry @Friedi, i’m a little confused, why are you tagging me that the Cameras don’t work?

The only cameras I have any knowledge of is the [Arlo Camera App](https://community.homey.app/t/app-arlo-security-camera-1-00-alpha/14769).

Then sorry. Maybe I read wrong but the blog article says nothing about this.  
It is described as follows.

> Blockquote Camera devices can now be viewed from within the Homey app

And this I understand as this feature is for homey supported cams.

Hi guys,

I just solved my problem connecting Dahua camera. If anyone struggling adding Virtual IP Cam than in the camera menu you must set an authentication to OFF¨.

I use different Foscam cameras and use next URL  
[http://192.168](http://192.168)…:port/snapshot.jpg?user=…&pwd=…  
It works with four different cameras.

Wrong url. 2x user and password in an url is false. And port is not added in the url so it goes automagicaly to port 80.

Just want to give you the URL for Lutec or Steinel lamps with built in camera.

[http://192.168.1.XXX/webcapture.jpg?command=snap&channel=0](http://192.168.1.XXX/webcapture.jpg?command=snap&channel=0)

Take your own IP address.  
You get a snapshot with this link.  
Use it this way, without user/password or port even if you set a pw in the camera app.

Strange enough I can’t see any pictures in dev tools.  
Only the homey logo.  
I checked my flow by changing the If statement to “when flow started”, and adding “send push message to mobile” to THEN statement.  
The flow does result in a push notification on my mobile, but no image is captured on homey.  
Any idea where to start with my troubleshooting?

i’m not a mind reader, so i have no clue  
what kind of camera you are using,  
what app (if any)  
what homey version,  
what homey mobile app version,  
if the URL you are using is a valid URL (JPEG image/snapshot)

there are just too many variables that can go wrong that it is impossible to help without ANY information.

No image in the dev tools already shows that the image you are trying to get is at least not an (valid) snapshot/image

Dahua DH-SD22204T-GN  
Homey v2.3.0rc2  
Homey early 2016  
Homey app 2.5.0  
Which URL are you referring to?  
I just setup the cameras following instructions of the homey app.  
I did not enter any url (wasn’t asked)

Does this give you wizard strength? 😉

</div>

and the dahua app has been rewritten to the new snapshot feature?  
the old way doesn’t work the same as the new way that was later released.

If i look at the description of that app, then it can only send a snapshot to an email address, so it is not even using the old image token way, so most likely has not been (re)written to the new image stream way either

You’ve completely lost me.  
Homey markets as if it supports cameras.

But it actually depends on the app what is supported and how it is supported?

So I should reach out to the developer Marcel Timmermans?
