I have an Amcrest IP4M-956E dome camera I am using to monitor the front of my house. The camera does not have a builtin feature to allow HTTP calls when motion is detected, but I found a different way to get openHab to respond to motion events.

I just released the binding with working motion detection in my binding here for amcrest. Many other features can be added as I have time. [image] IpCamera: New IP Camera Binding Bindings This binding is now merged into openHAB 2.5.9 and newer. See below for …

There is also another binding FTP Upload , which could be used for camera motion detecting. Most of the network cameras (also amcrest) can send image to FTP server when motion or sound is detected. This binding acts a FTP server, where camera can send a image.

Just a heads up that the link in your post is broken, is it still around? In my binding I now have audio as well as motion alarms working for both Amcrest and Foscam, its worth checking out as I have done a lot of work on it the past few weeks.

Just fixed the link as during code reviews, we decided to rename the binding to more generic (FTP upload binding). Binding is now merged to master, so it’s available in snapshot builds.
