Foscam FI9928P PTZ control

[nigels0]

Hi,

I'm looking at the new Foscam FI9928P camera, but before I buy it, does anyone know if Domoticz could support the following:

Camera is looking at the path, but when a motion sensor (or doorbell) is triggered, it moves to that location, zooms in for a bit - takes a snapshot, mails it to me, then returns to its original position.

Haven't seen anything in the forums that describe this (the snapshot and mailing seems possible though)

you can use http cgi links to operate your camera:

when dorbell rings (of course DOmoticz CAN intercept such trigger), send the HTTP command to move to a specific point the camera

here is the link:

I was in the mood to create a plugin for that... but I do not have the time for

Thanks. I'll have a look.

I did it like this, with a foscam compatible camera:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#Doorbell ringing, send telegram notification:
if [ -e "/var/ramdrive/domoticz" ]; then RUNDIR="/var/ramdrive"; else RUNDIR="/opt/domoticz"; fi;

fi
nohup echo "Klaar" 2>&1 | >/dev/null
#EOF

I get several telegrams with pics from different angle, after taking pics camara moves back to start position.

Thanks, but I'm using the newer cameras with HD and there doesn't seem an easy way to start a manual record for video or snap a picture in the CGI user guide (I'm using V1.06). Anyone have an idea?

Thanks
