Frequently Asked Questions
You may find some answers to your questions here. If not, do not hesitate to contact us using the form below.
Is my camera supported?
If it provides a standard MJPEG or RTSP/H264 stream, then yes! Some manufacturers design their cameras so they only work with their own apps. In that case, they will not work with Webcam HQ, unfortunately.
Why is my camera not detected automatically?
Webcam HQ scans your network for UPnP- and Bonjour-compliant devices. If your camera does not show up, you can always enter its address (URL) manually.
I got an error and the message "Please check the Address, Username and Password". What should I do?
The Address field has the form: scheme://ipaddress:port/path where 'scheme' is 'http' for MJPEG video feeds, or 'rtsp' for H264. The ':port' part is optional if your camera uses the default port (80 for http and 554 for rtsp). The path depends on your camera model.
For example, the correct Address for an MJPEG D-Link camera at IP address 192.168.1.100 (default port) is:
http://192.168.1.100/video/mjpg.cgi
Or for an H264 Foscam camera at IP address 192.168.0.60 and port 88, it would be:
rtsp://192.168.0.60:88/videoMain
I entered the correct user name and password. Why do I get an "authentication error" message?
Please check that your password does not contain special characters like &, ?, : or @. In theory, they should not be a problem, but we have found that they cause trouble with some cameras.
I don't know the correct Address for my camera. What can I do?
Since version 1.6, if you only know your camera's IP address, you can enter it and Webcam HQ will try all the most common URLs automatically. Be sure to only type the IP address, or IP:PORT, without the http:// or rtsp:// part, for example 192.168.0.99 or 192.168.0.99:88.
