Security Camera Plugin

I think I'm giving up on the Foscam plugin. So I'm trying Security Camera.

I'm getting this:

Code: Select all

  Security Camera Error           Error in plugin execution runConcurrentThread:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 471, in runConcurrentThread
IndexError: list index out of range

   Security Camera Error           plugin runConcurrentThread function returned or failed (will attempt again in 10 seconds)

over and over again.

Also, I feel like I'm missing something major and maybe obvious: The docs talk about "actions" but aside from a device that shows as "on" I have no ability to do anything to or with the device. Where are these actions supposed to be evident?

I think I know where the error is coming from. I'll take a look as soon as I get home tonight.

I also notice that the Indigo 6 web server directory is the plugin's default image location.

How many cameras do you have set up? Can you turn on debug (flag in the device setup) and send me the output?

regarding the v7 folder - I'll be releasing an update in the next few days that will address this.

I'm sorta using both. (At least that is the direction I'm moving towards)

I think the Foscam plugin is great for monitoring cameras and creating triggers off of motion events.... but I have had issues from day one with the way it captures images.

I think this plugin does a much better job with image capture and manipulation and the use of symlinks will make my control pages pretty magical once set up.

Unfortunately, I had to re-format my computer to get another plugin to work properly (un related). I probably won't have time to tinker with this plugin again until well after Christmas. Dang kids want me to spend time with them.

Kinda depends on what you mean by "set up." Defined? 2. Working? 0. I get the created folder structure in /video, but the "not active" image.

May have just found the problem. I had "http://: in the address location.

Nope.

and so on like that.

I just updated the git hub code to version 1.3.7. I believe this will fix the error. Please let me know.

I even disabled the two plugins I'm having other trouble with to make sure the error is with SC.

Ok - couple of things to try 1) open each of your camera devices and re-save them. 2) I just created an update with some additional error tracking -1.3.8 - give it a try and send me the output. 3) can you send me screen shots of your device configuration? Please redact any user names or passwords in the camera URL. Thanks for your patience.

I'll do one better: I'll delete & re-add the devices.

Stand by!

Oddly, I deleted the devices, but THEN re-enabled the plug in and got

The MOMENT I finished defining a cam, I got this:

Code: Select all

 Security Camera Debug           Master Camera image not found.
   Security Camera Error           Error in plugin execution runConcurrentThread:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 471, in runConcurrentThread
IndexError: list index out of range

   Security Camera Error           plugin runConcurrentThread function returned or failed (will attempt again in 10 seconds)


See below for the config, and here's the URL I'm using for the cam: http://192.168.0.230:88/cgi-bin/CGIProx ... apPicture2

Thanks for the info and sorry about the problems. I'll take a look at the log file more closely tonight. There is a step where it iterates through the devices to configure the carousel function. It seems to be erring on that process but it is not clear why. I'll work on trapping that specific error and responding more "gently". Then figure out why it is erring to begin with.

OK - I do believe I found and fixed the issue. Give it another try. Version 1.3.9.

Hi,

will it work on Indigo6?
Can this plugin be used to replace for example Evocam? (unfortunately no longer developed/supported, website is also down)
