Foscam IP Camera Plugin
This plugin offers support for pan, tilt, patrol, presets* and motion detection.
* Presets are supported starting with MiOS firmware version 1.5.390.
Setting up motion detection
The plugin needs to know a couple of things to setup motion detection:
- The camera's IP address and port or URL (e.g. camera.myserver.com)
- The camera's username and password
- The Vera IP address or URL (e.g. vera.myserver.com)
The plugin will attempt to find the Vera's IP address automatically based on the camera's IP address. This attempt will be successful only if the camera is on the same network as Vera. In all other cases the Vera's IP address (or URL) must be specified by the user.
On firmwares older than 1.5.390 arming and bypassing the motion sensor won't work unless you upload this file on Vera.
WARNING: the plugin will overwrite the alarm notification URL!
Configurable parameters
- These parameters can be modified in the camera's control panel, in the Advanced tab:
| StepSize | How much the camera will rotate when you send a pan or tilt command. Must be a natural number greater than 0. |
| ReverseControls | When this parameter is 1 the camera controls will be reversed. Useful when you have the camera upside down. Can be 0 or 1. |
| VeraAddress | Enter here the IP address or URL of the Vera. |
- This parameter can be modified in the motion sensor's control panel, in the Advanced tab:
| OnTime | The number of seconds the plugin hasn't received any notification from the camera after which the device will become Untripped. The default is 1200 seconds (20 minutes). |
