Connecting a Foscam FI9821W HD camera to a smart home on Fibaro Home Center2. No video picture

The most likely problem is that this HD camera outputs h264 stream, while Fibaro Home Center2 is ready to work only with mjpeg stream. Is there a solution?

1) Specify the mjpeg format as the SubStreem stream. To do this, access the camera using the line in the browser with the following command:
here 1=mjpeg; 0=h264;
For reference, by default Foscam uses PORT=88, ADMIN_USER=admin, PASSWORD= (empty password)
It is better to change the password immediately in the Foscam web admin at the camera address (I did not check how the previous url works with an empty password):

http://IP_ADDRESS:PORT

In response, an HTML page/message will be opened: result=0 - it means everything worked out.
2) In FibaroCenter2 we write:
JPG-Path: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=USER&pwd=PASSWORD&cmd=snapPicture2
MJPG stream path: cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=USER&pwd=PASSWORD
Turn left URL: /cgi -bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveLeft&usr=USER&pwd=PASSWORD
Turn right URL: /cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveRight&usr=USER&pwd=PASSWORD
Move up URL: /cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveUp&usr =USER&pwd=PASSWORD
Move down URL: /cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzMoveDown&usr=USER&pwd=PASSWORD
Stop camera movement URL:
/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzStopRun&usr=USER&pwd=PASSWORD the Send Stop item.
It should look like this:
Tested on this version of Foscam firmware:
It works!
