Security Camera Recommendations

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 in .14 and .15) to enable motion detection, and in the case of the model that supports callbacks on motion, tells it to callback to the openHAB server (IP address ending in .10) to flip a Switch item. When the Present switch is set to ON, it disables motion detection on all cameras.
