Hello together, i’m interested in developing a binding for FOSCAM H.264 IP cameras to control the alert detection status. Currently, it is possible to switch this status via HTTP commands. The API is available here: http://www.foscam.de/firmware-foscam/cgi-befehle/ (see first ZIP-File, FC IP Came…

Matthew Hi, First time poster and long time lurker. I was having issues with the new foscam cameras. I wanted to be able to use the video widget in the openhab ui without plugins etc. I was originally told that the H.264 cameras cannot be show live in the UI. Not true. My solution was to turn one…
