If I had the same firmware as you I could make it fly.
Login into the M2, go to System and take a screenshot.
Thank you--
OK here is what I have running right now.

I did a site survey and the M2 doesn't pick up the camera.
It picks up every router, printer, phone, etc. around this block but no IP camera.
I know it's working. I can see it on my PC fine. My PC wifi router picks it up also.
Couldn't have got this far without your help.
IT IS NOW ALL WORKING PERFECTLY!I think your camera Ip address and wifi settings are not the same as the M2.

You were exactly right.
I think it was the camera SSID messing me up.
I backed up the M2 config, my camera config. and changed laptop IPv4 settings back to Auto.
I can login to the M2 and camera reliably now.
I'm viewing a live 1080P@30fps, rtsp, H.264H stream as we speak.
I will probably dial that back to 10fps at the range.
Lag (2-3sec) is not much of a problem for me as far as PTZ.
I'm use to it being that bad on internet camera viewing apps.
As soon as weather permits, I will do some range testing with my $15 Yagi on the Laptop at work.
I have access to a large sand pit and can get a LOS of almost a mile.
When I settle down and get some rest I will think about adding the shooting station M2.
That's got to be easier than what I've been through, eh?
And all of this was done on Linux Mint 18.3.
Your help has been INVALUABLE!
Thank You Mr.ToolAA.
p.s.--I forgot I have some battery testing to do.
I've built RC quadcopters that use 3S (12V) LiPos.
Give me a link to your Foscam users guide/specs and I'll have a look see.I’m also interested to see how you capture the video stream. I’ve gotten used to using the Foscam app but there are some things that I don’t like.

I'm using this camera-->
Amcrest IP2M-841B
I have 3 more Amcrest PoE PTZ optical zoom and they have been very good.
I have a 4x, 12x and 25x. All 1080p@30fps.
I just LOVE the 25X.
Amcrest
No no. The 841 (my target camera) does NOT have optical zoom but some of my other cameras do.I have 3 more Amcrest PoE PTZ optical zoom and they have been very good.
Did you have any problems focusing your 16mm lens?
Did it screw in far enough?
Could you "overshoot" the focus in?
Just wondered if I have to cut the lens threads off on my lathe to allow more movement.
thanks
yes, you can. I use a linksys router and a foscam camera.
their software looks for two things: 1)the SSID of the wifi router (must be "bullseyecamxxxxxx" where xxxxxx is a number to differentiate you from another system. i.e. ssid of wifi router is bullseyecam100000 or something similar. No encryption. Camera device name should be BullseyeCamera but I am not sure if that matters and 2)IP address of camera should be static and 19.168.1.252. Client can be DHCP, it doesn't care about that.
so basic setup is:
router ssid bullseyecam0123456 (whatever number you want)
no wifi encryption
router set to DHCP server for clients and IP address 192.168.1.1
camera device name BullseyeCamera
camera IP static 192.168.1.252
camera set to connect to router ssid in infrastructure mode via wifi (or cable if you want)
client PC or smartphone DHCP set to connect to wifi
range is iffy sometimes at 600 yards (as with any such system) and I have used a wifi repeater router with two antenna ports with a yagi pointed each way at about 300 yards to make the signal bulletproof (pun intended) on the firing line.
in the interest of not hijacking this thread further PM me if you want any more info
