By default camera pre-sets and motion detection are
disabled on FI8910W camera. You have to enable and test
them before integrating with your Vera controller. Login
into Foscam Management interface for camera and enable
these options.
Download and install Foscam plugin. Login into your
Vera controller and search for “Foscam IP Camera” in
Apps --> Install apps --> Search app.
Choose Foscam IP Camera from the list and click
“Details”
Confirm that you have selected non H.264 Foscam
camera plugin version 2.6 and click on “install”. After
downloading and a few minutes of setup configurations
you should see a message saying “it’s now safe to exit
this screen”. Click on “Exit”.
You should now have Foscam IP Camera plugin in-
stalled under the “My apps” section.

Foscam IP Camera has to be added manually as generic IP camera. Go to:
Devices --> Additional Devices --> Security Cameras --> IP Camera (Generic IP Camera).
