Hi Martin, I've been playing around with my Foscam and got it working on the webpage. Apparently this code will wok on any camera so give it a try. Unfortunately some info needs to be in the html code so you and everyone will have to edit the file to get it working. 

Open the "index.html" file on controller SD card with a file editor. Scroll to the bottom of the code and you'll see the following.

Code:

<p><a href="page2.htm">Controller Info</a></p>
</body>
</html>

Just above that code paste in the code below.

In this code find YOUR_IP_ADDRESS and change it to the IP address from your internet provider. Google "my IP address" to get it. 

Find YOUR_PORT_NUMBER and replace it with the port the camera uses.

Find USERNAME and replace it with the login username for your camera.

Find PASSWORD and replace it with the password for your camera.

Code:

<center>
<img style="max-width:800px" width="100%" src="http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:YOUR_PORT_NUMBER/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD&t=" onload='setTimeout(function() {src = src.substring(0, (src.lastIndexOf("t=")+2))+(new Date()).getTime()}, 1000)' onerror='setTimeout(function() {src = src.substring(0, (src.lastIndexOf("t=")+2))+(new Date()).getTime()}, 5000)' alt='' />
</center>

This will only work if you have your camera port forward so you can access outside the network. If you only want to access within the network change YOUR_IP_ADDRESS to your local IP address.

Hope it works for you. :)
