Indigo Domotics

So I picked up a Foscam FI8910W for cheap and am trying to add it to the plugin.

I'm certain that the URL format is as such:

Code: Select all

http://IP:PORT/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=password

This works fine in a browser and in an Indigo control page refreshing image URL.

But I can't get it to work with Security Camera Plugin.

I've tried urllib and urllib2 (with the login info blank).

Turning on debug doesn't show any errors. Foyer is an old Vera Vistcam (rebranded Foscam) and it works fine. IPCam2 is the new addition.

Code: Select all

   Security Camera Debug           Starting main loop
   Security Camera Debug                Starting Carousel
   Security Camera Debug                Starting Master Image
   Security Camera Debug                Unable to run Master Image
   Security Camera Debug                Starting Device Loop
   Security Camera Debug                Starting Device Loop for:Foyer
   Security Camera Debug                     Set State Timers
   Security Camera Debug                     Get Camera Image
   Security Camera Debug                     Check Motion
   Security Camera Debug                Starting Device Loop for:IPCam2
   Security Camera Debug                     Set State Timers
   Security Camera Debug                     Get Camera Image
   Security Camera Debug                     Check Motion

Any advice?

Another nugget of info. Using curl in a terminal with the above URL also works just fine.

I’d upgrade to the 2.0 version of Security Camera. One warning is the you will need to recreate your camera devices but it is much more stable and less of a resource hog.

That said, I will be releasing an update later today so you might want to wait a bit to upgrade.

OK, after many upgrade issues, I've done that. I ended up having to completely delete my previous install. Anyways, now I continually get the following log message once per second:

Security Camera Unable to run Master Image: 0

And neither of my cameras work. When I re-created the devices, I received the following errors:

Code: Select all

Ok - I’ll take a look.

OK, python error is gone, but still get "Unable to run Master Image: 0" 1x/sec. I then see:

Security Camera Image not loaded for IPCam2 camera. 30
Security Camera Image not loaded for FoyerCam camera. 30

I had been successfully using the FoyerCam with the pre 2.x Security Camera Plugin.

Unfortunately, there's no feedback as to what's going wrong and toggling debug on does nothing.

I am also getting that error;

Any update?

I am also getting the same error

Hi I have the same error, clean installation.
Please advice how to handle.

Security Camera Unable to run Master Image: 0

So I looked at the source code for this plugin and it looks like there's an issue with the preferences file and the Master Camera tag. I commented out all of the code relating to the Master Camera and was able to get the plug in to run. However, my connectivity issues persisted. Added some debug logs and found that the requests python library (that the author went to in v2.0) is always assuming HTTP port 80. My cameras are not on port 80. I briefly looked at the requests documentation but didn't see a way to specify a port number.

Gave up, completely wiped the current plugin from Indigo and installed the last version that didn't use requests (v1.6.2) and all is well again. Both cameras working beautifully.

were to find the version 1.62?
