James,

Sorry I haven’t been able to respond sooner. I took some time this morning to check over some things, and if you need more info, let me know.

I know you already said you weren’t but This definitely works for me in Safari when it is over a non-encrypted connection. It definitely should work with firefox and chrome regardless of the connection type as long as you accept their popup about trusting the certificate.

Definitely not. I double-checked to be sure, the "Use SSL” is not checked in the Edit interface window of each (2 x10 Airsight) camera. In Video Pitcher, I also tried changing the Control API to X10 Airsight, no changes with any issues I’m having.

There was a problem with the video player not auto-playing and not updating sometimes when changing dates or times. That should be working well now in Safari, Chrome or Firefox which are the ones I generally test in.

I am using build 943, and 3.0.0 of Video Pitcher.  FYI, I’m running XTension on a 2009 Mac mini running OSX10.11.6

I”m seeing a lot of chatter about those cameras as being better than foscams lately so I’m willing to give them a try. I may pick one up and see if I can get it to also support motion sensing and PTZ types with XTension too. But for now that link will likely get your video going.

It does have MJPEG and RTSP for sub-streams, if that helps. I’ll mess with this later, but thanks for helping on that.
