Control camera IR

Hi,
Is there a way to control G3 cameras IR leds with the plugin? I am not very happy with the cameras own light detection and would like to control it from Indigo instead.
Thanks!

Yes in action and through the menu.

How is your nvr setup?

Thats's great!

I have some different models of G3 managed by a Ubiquiti NVR. The main NVR is a Blue Iris server pulling rtsp from the Ubi NVR but also a backup JPEG stream directly from the camera as backup in case that the Ubi NVR fails.

You can get snapshots ... streams w the plugin from the nvr, direct path access, or directly form the camera.

I can't get it to work, I must be missing something. Any thoughts?

Code: Select all

Started plugin "uniFiAP 7.24.135"
   uniFiAP                         initializing  ... variables
...deleted
   uniFiAP                         initialized

I will post a new version with some more debug options..
could you download this and run it .. also switch on debug for VIDEO(6) and ssh(7)

Okay, here is the result from the plugin start. I disabled the AP and Switch sections. When I try to control the IR for a camera with an action nothing happens, no log entry either.

Code: Select all

>> in Line '1680' has error=''apiKey'' <<
indicates that the data returned is not complete .. apiKey is missing . that might mean that remote access is disabled on the NVR, enable in user setting

indicates that there is a switch that was defined / existed, but anymore, or something like that. is fixed in attached

The API access have been enabled during all tests. Here is the output with the new release.

took some time

Thanks, the API key is now pulled from the NVR to the plugin. However the action isn't working. Here is the plugin start log and after that the action group execution.

Hi, there is still something wrong when I try to control the IR led.

Code: Select all

   Starting plugin "uniFiAP 7.25.142" (pid 39805)
   uniFiAP                         setting parameters for indigo version: >>7<<
   Started plugin "uniFiAP 7.25.142"
   uniFiAP                         initializing    ... variables
deleted...
curl: (35) error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure



this error:
curl: (35) error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

indicates that this is a unix / ssl / setup issue.

if this

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/curl --insecure -c /tmp/nvrCookie --data '{"username": "xxx", "password": "xxx"}' https://192.168.9.35:7443/api/login

does not work, there must be something else wrong ... don't know what. It's a simple login ... What unix system is hosting the NVR?

could you try to use "request" instead of "curl" ( switch in config) the plugin offers both ways to connect to the unifi systems -- older MACs osx do not support the required ssl standards in the python lib . Thats why curl is offered.
