First steps in problem support - switch it off and on again. :)


No luck there. I have other triggers that use python to pull camera images, plus I can view them from an NVR or from an IP Camera app on my phone. As far as I can tell, this error message is the only indication that there is something wrong. The only thing I can't do is use for motion triggers in indigo via the plugin.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I'll take a look at it but it might take a few days?

Not a lack of enthusiasm on my part but I don't use (my own) plugins any longer. :wink:
I have migrated to using Blue Iris running in a windows VM (VMWare Fusion) on my Indigo iMac.

So I will have to dig out a spare camera, make sure it is up-to-date and then re-install the plugins (Foscam and Dynamic).

I'll get onto that shortly and then I will also investigate the problem you reported with the Dynamic View Controller. :)

No worries, no rush. I'm actually getting close to scrapping it all for something different. I need to purchase a Lorex DVR (Analog cameras) for an install I'm helping with.... while I have it, I plan on tinkering to see if I can incorporate the CGI snapshots from the DVR into indigo. Why?

Running 10 IP Cameras over 2 NVRs means there are 12 devices that need to be in sync to avoid issues (motion detection settings, time/date, schedules, etc.). A lot of which is dependent on the ability to directly access and maintain each of the 10 IP cameras (staying on top of firmware updates, compatibility with OS X releases, etc.)

So... If I can pull snapshots into indigo from a DVR, that will reduce time spent maintaining cameras. (hopefully)

The next trick will be to figure out the best way to get indigo to recognize a DVR motion event. From https://blueirissoftware.com/technology/, it looks like Blue Iris will support a Lorex analog LHV series DVR if I can't see the DVR directly in indigo.

My favorite thing / use for your plugin was the non-analytic way it brought motion events into indigo.... minimal CPU usage. All the other solutions I'm exploring will probably have a much larger CPU impact.

Since about 98% of the DVRs and NVRs out there are running similar linux based software with digital alarm monitoring outputs... I'm surprised there isn't a generic plugin to act as an alarm center to receive those messages.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I have managed to reproduce the issue. :)

I have set up a Foscam R4 updated with the latest firmware (1.11.1.13 / 2.71.1.73).

I think you may have the Device Configuration setting for Camera platform set to Original and not Amba.

If I have it set to Original, I get repeated errors on line 514.

If I have it set to Amba, I get the error once as the states haven't been populated. It then runs OK and motion detection etc works.

Obviously the plugin should handle this situation. :wink:

Can you let me know if this is the case and if not I will dig deeper. :)

That did the trick. You can put your shovel up, no further digging required. Many thanks.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

Has Foscam HD Controller disabled the other functions?
Foscam Controller had these settings :
Move Camera
Go to preset position
Set current location as preset
Stop Movement
Enable Streams
Disable Streams
Activate Motion Alarm
Deactivate Motion Alarm
Turn IR on
Turn IR off
Email Snapshot

Does anybody knows how to implement these old settings to the new Foscam HD Controller plugin?
Thank you!

I didn't implement them as I didn't need them - so to be pedantic, not disabled (though the effect is the same!). :wink:
The plugin wasn't intended to be a clone of the previous version. :)

The plugin has actions for some of the above:
  • Activate Motion Alarm and Deactivate Motion Alarm are implemented as Motion Detection On, Motion Detection Off and Motion Detection Toggle.
  • Turn IR on and Turn IR off are implemented as Infrared On, Infrared Off and Infrared Toggle.

Yes I do. :)

Do you need them all or particular ones?

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I would love to have these back:
Move Camera
Go to preset position
Set current location as preset
Email Snapshot
Also, any idea how to trigger "cruise mode" on and off from indigo action?

I hope this is not too much to ask, thank you

I'll see what I can do but it will be a few weeks before I can get round to it, other commitments permitting.

I will look at adding functions to Start Cruise and Stop Cruise. Setting up the cruise map will be best done in the Foscam App. I might upload the additions as I complete them rather than wait until I have done them all - so at least you will have something. :)

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I'm trying to add a Foscam D4Z camera which is already running and controlled by Surveillance Station on my Synology NAS.

However, in Indigo the camera shows "no ack".
Any ideas? Is maybe the camera not supported?
I've tried "Amba" and "Original"

The connection details are correct, tried already with port 88 and 443 which are defined in the camera settings.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I have just checked the latest API and I can't see anything that has changed that should affect the plugin. :?

You could try turning on all debugging in the plugin config, then reload the plugin and then search the plugin log for your camera's IP string to see if that shows anything.

After the plugin starts, you should see something in the log like:
2020-09-23 16:32:48.885 DEBUG Plugin.MonitorSend.run Command Sent To Camera Gartenamera [192.168.100.???:88]: http://192.168.1.???:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?usr=<USERNAME>&pwd=<PASSWORD>&cmd=getSystemTime
You should then be able to see a response which may be:
2020-09-23 16:34:06.342 DEBUG Plugin.DebugReceive.run No Response from camera Gartenamera [192.168.1.???:88]
or something more useful.

The plugin Log file is accessed by clicking the Show Events Log Folder button at the top of the Indigo Event Log window. The folder you want is com.autologplugin.indigoplugin.foscamhdcontroller and the file is plugin.log.

Also it may be worth checking if you can access the camera via a web browser?

I hav to say, that I can access the cam via the Surveillance Station, DS Cam (iOS/Android), Foscam VMS.
Via browser I can only access it via Internet Explorer (no Chrome, Firefox, etc.) :evil:
But that was enough for me to get it first configured and ready to run with SS on my NAS.

So, it seems so, Indigo has indeed no connection to it.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I think the log output is similar to what I get when a camera is switched off.

For the next test, try using ping from a terminal session to check the IP Address:
Code: Select all
ping 192.168.100.xxx
You should get output that indicates communication or not, e.g.:
Code: Select all

If you can't get through then that suggests that there might be a network / firewall problem with the Mac running Indigo or there is something wrong with the sign-in credentials (probably unlikely)? I would also suggest using port 88 to start with.

I can ping it, no prob.
On port 88 I have now an access denied, but the password is correct, I can sign in with it.
