Anyone have any good recommendations for security cameras that work with openHAB? Looking for a camera that can live stream video and two way audio, motion sensing, recording, and storage.

Absolutely. I could not agree more. ONVIF would be fantastic or other methods of native integration for cameras is needed to help expand this platform. I’ve been patiently looking for developments along the way and have been a little surprised how little this seems to be discussed. I know part of th…

With the Foscam cameras, what protocol binding would I use? Would I have full control over the camera through openhab? Watching, pan/tilt, two-way audio, etc?

ah, that’s what I looking for. Could I using this http api trigger the camera to start recording? I have my alarm hooked to OH, would be good if I can trigger the recording when the alarm is triggered. Also, I would like to ‘arm’ it when my regular alarm is ‘armed’ while so that when I’m in the ro…

Here is some sample code adapted from one of my rule files that demonstrates instructing two different Foscam model cameras to enable or disable motion detection, based on the switch state of the Present item. When the switch changes to OFF, it sends HTTP commands to each camera (IP addresses ending…

I’d like to get one of the new-firmware Foscam models, but I don’t know yet how to make OH know when they trigger on motion. I just want to get a Contact item or variable get set automatically. As callback URLs are unavailable, can we at least pull the alarm status via HTTP binding ? Do I have to …

[image] mstormi: Do I have to use SMTP/FTP alarming and build some SMTP/FTP-to-OH script mimic or is there a more clever way? I would like to know as well! It’s a shame the later Foscam cameras no longer document a motion callback URL. But @PolishBen has been working on a CCTV “snapshot” bi…

I’m polling now: String Foscam_Detect "Bewegungserkennung Aussenkamera [MAP(foscam.map):%s]" <camera> (Status,Test) { http="<[http://foscam:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=USER&pwd=PASSWORD:4000:REGEX(.*?<motionDetectAlarm>(.*?)</motionDetectAlarm>.*)]" } Not the most elegant sol…

@mstormi could you provide your foscam,map ?

I may have added this ability to my binding here, if it works (i dont have a foscam) it should be simple if the camera has it turned on, if it does not it will tell you in the logs that it is turned off.
