Still no support for foscam devices, which is really quite ignnorant of the developers maintaining support of ReadyNAS servaliance..
For anybodies reference, the Foscam firmware is quite standard across models, you can often find the stream on http://ip_of_cam/videostream.cgi?user=***&pwd=***
similalry, replace videostream.cgi with videostream.asf if the model used supports sound.
I really don't understand why netgear thinks these cameras are not wide spread enough, they are literally everywhere, Ebuyer sells Xenta camers extremely cheaply, which are actually just re-badged FOSCAMs with a badly translated Web interface! same URLS and Resoruces are still there and available, among the 100's of other cheap clones.
Forgive me for bing a bit upset but somebody inside netgear needs a very hard slap across the face! just dropping in a "Custom" camera that lets you set your own video stream paramiters would solve the issue. or at the very least with this information add a Generic Foscam option!!!. >:(
