There is a long thread about it on the Foscam Community Support forum here: įirefox and Chrome don't have the necessary Foscam plugin on the Apple Mac, so the only way I have found is to use windows (via a VM) and use IE to log onto the camera and click the button.Īnother alternative/ work-around, is to change the camera to FTP to a FTP server (maybe on your Apple Mac running under Apple server). The gotcha, is that on Safari the button is disabled and greyed out. It can only be turned on by logging onto the camera via a web browser (Safari), going to Settings > Record > SD Card Management and ticking the SD Card Management. With the latest firmware, the camera's FTP is now turned off when the camera is re-booted. Unfortunately this is not very Apple Mac friendly and definitely not friendly to my Foscam HD plugin which will throw errors when it can't FTP to the camera. Step 4: Continue to configure or use the camera as desired.Having spent the best part of two days trying to work out why I couldn't FTP into my Foscam HD Cameras, it turns out that Foscam have changed the way the firmware works.
