Security Camera Plugin

Just posted 1.4.4. - issues are in the initiation process - which I guess I didn't do so well at testing ... I also added some additional logging messages so if you have issues turn on logging and send me the output. Thank you for your patience...

Yes - see the updated install docs. It uses the python PIL module. Instructions are in the readme.

FYI, they are not included in the download in the README.md file
nor are they at https://github.com/bkmar1192/SecurityCa ... /README.md

Code: Select all

pip install pillow

seems to be working, but it thinks I'm running python 2.6 and I got the insecure platform warning too.

EDIT:

Code: Select all

sudo pip install pillow

works. EDIT EDIT: Kinda. I got a "successfully installed pillow" message in terminal, but Security Camera still errors out with no PIL found.

This is a bit beyond my Python ability (I installed and it just worked). I think there is a way to have pip install to a specific version but I am not 100% sure if that is the issue. I'll search around a bit and see if I can find anything but it might be helpful to post to the larger community.

Still getting this error:

Code: Select all

Version 1.4.5 just posted.

I can confirm that 1.4.5 made my error go away.

Yay, this has resolved the error message for me too.

Now to spend some time playing with the results!!!

Here's the topic for my trying to sort my issue with 2.6 and PIL.

I think it's all updated now. I'm getting:

Code: Select all

Can you try opening and re-saving your camera devices? The field for MotionThreadSeconds should be there and I am not sure why it is not finding it.

For those trying the plugin I just posted some screen shots of my setup to give you an idea of how to use the different images that are produced.

Thanks for trying this out.

Done, no change.

And I'm once again seeing the plugin take 20+ % of processing time, which seems excessive.

Alright, so I'm no Terminal genius, but have messed with it enough to not be afraid to try stuff... but after this command

Code: Select all

sudo pip install Pillow

I'm prompted for a password, and then I keep getting this error message.

Code: Select all

sudo: pip: command not found

No doubt I'm doing something wrong... but don't know what...

Any suggestions ?

Do "sudo easy_install pip" first.

Ok so quick question... I looked on the ispyconnect web site, and my camera uses rtsp:// protocol, so I'm guessing it just won't work with this plugin..

FWIW, its an HKVision camera.
