Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

Help... disabling it didn't work. It's on my living room camera, model FI9853EP. I turned off FTP on the device. The plugin created the root folder for the camera, and created dated sub folders, but there is no SD Card in that camera. (So obviously the plugin can't find the "snap" directory). But I can't get the plugin to stop looking for it. Every time the wife, dog or kid walks through the living room, the plugin is throwing out 2 to 4 identical error messages.

Foscam HD Controller Error alarmFtpDateFolder: Line '640' has error='550 Can't change directory to /IPCamera/FI9853EP_C4D6553F3E20/snap: No such file or directory'

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

If you setup an Action of FoscamHDControllerActions to Snap Picture Off and then execute it, it should resolve the problem. :)

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

Haven't moved to the new beta yet, but I just got this for the first time:
Code: Select all
Foscam HD Controller Error      alarmFtpImageFolder: Line '668' has error='550 Can't change directory to 20161130-083000: No such file or directory'
This is on a camera that has been working.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

getting this with the beta, and still no C2.
Code: Select all
   Foscam HD Controller Error      Handle Command Thread  detected error. Line '351' has error='ServerCommunicationError -- timeout waiting for response'

And am I misremembering that the plugin is supposed to fill in the subfolder names?

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I suspect you are NOT running the beta - the beta plugin version should say V2.1.1 :)

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I suddenly realised I hadn't replied to your suggestions/questions :oops:

... Under Configure Camera/Dynamic Views. If you want to stop broadcasting/un-associate with a Dynamic View, there should be a "none" option on the dropdown. The only options available are the two Dynamic Views that I have set up already.

Agreed - I will add that in. :)

? detection interval (also under "Configure Camera" ). Is this how long the device holds the state "triggered"? If that means something else, could you please explain it and then add a "Alarm time" for the duration that the Foscam HD Device holds the "triggered" state..

Yes - that's it. The Foscam HD cameras will only allow a maximum of 15 seconds AFAIK. This overrides the camera setting and allows you to specify a longer time interval for the Indigo camera device to remain in a triggered state. What exactly do you mean by Alarm Time - do you mean actual time of alarm e.g. 14:30:15?

whmoorejr wrote:
Consider adding "Latch Time" .... the amount of time after the alarm time before the device will trigger another alarm.

That should be easy to add in as well. :)

whmoorejr wrote:
Polling question.... the Motion detected signal from the camera, is that pushed out to the created indigo device via your plugin or is the plugin pulling that? (If I set Poll camera to 60 seconds and waive my hand in-front of the camera during that time = no motion detected)?

The Foscam HD camera doesn't push out messages AFAIK and so I have to poll it to see if there is a change of state. So yes you are correct, if you set the poling to 60 seconds, then it will take up to a minute for my plugin to pick up there has been motion detected. I set my polling times to 5 seconds.

I wondering if you have had a chance to test out the beta version - the other user has reported success with his newer camera - I was wondering if your C1/ C2 works?

Also, I haven't documented it but if you run an FTP server on your Mac, it is possible to get the camera to upload images to the Mac via FTP (i.e. the reverse of what is currently being done). The Dynamic View should then work on the uploaded files on the Mac. I haven't done any detailed testing on this but it should work. :)

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I'm definitely running V2.1.1 and still no joy with my C1 or C2. If the plugin is working, it's supposed to create a directory structure on the local mac that matches the one in the camera, right?

Have you edited your Indigo camera device and changed the Camera Platform to Amba?

Yes, it should create the directories.

Next step (if the Amba change doesn't work (or hasn't worked) is to turn on all debugging in the plugin config. Stop the plugin and then restart it , leave it a short while and then stop the plugin and PM me the plugin.log from the com.autologplugin.indigoplugin.foscamhdcontroller folder and I will take a look at it to see if I can spot anything. :)

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

still running the log but got this right away:

Now here's the odd thing: all the cameras show up properly in Indigo--they show "waiting" or "no motion" or something that suggests the plugin DOES have access! And yes, I have been using AMBA.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I've been fiddling, not necessarily to any effect. Somehow, one of the never-worked cameras suddenly populated the folder structure in its save point. But it did not copy over any images. I can't say for sure, but it seems to be adding occasional new folders, less than there should be if it was working continuously.

Breezeway is the one that has worked for a while. FrontYard created a folder structure. C2 nothing.

Here's what debug says around that time:

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I will take a look at this after Christmas. :)

One thing to double check is that your camera date and time are exactly aligned with Indigo's Apple Mac.
I think the FTP logic needs to be made more robust - I will take a look at that.

Given that FTP processing has been entered, we are getting close. :)

Thanks for your patience while I have been concentrating on other plugins. :)

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

Any progress on C1s?

I am definitely interested. I have 4 C1s running with an older external bullet foscam and with another 1080 external bullet on the way.

I have all 4 C1s reporting motion events successfully.

But not been able to get pictures back at all.

All my cameras are blocked internet access at the router so need to run up an ntp and ftp server, then the images can be sent direct from camera.

Still having a lot of fun with Indigo, barely scratching the surface of it so far.

Thanks for all your work, much appreciated.

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

I have now started to look at this again - a long time after Christmas I know. :wink:

I am intending to put the latest version on Github to establish a baseline for where we are with the various cameras. I will then look at trying to understand and resolve the various problems. :)

Re: Autolog Foscam HD Controller Discussion

Continuation from other post

The plugin is awesome because I am using iCamPro to monitor the cameras and send alerts to iOS devices when movement is detected. Works OK but I have no way to trap motion outside in Indigo.

Your Foscam HD Controller Plugin enables me to do that. No I can kick off trigger events, i.e. turn on the hallway light or drive light.

yes the Camera is set to poll Every 5 seconds.

On powering up the camera it takes a minute for the camera to come back up and then the plugin spots it within 30 seconds

It did eventually notice the camera was offline. It was 10 minutes after the camera was unplugged.

Noob question - On the trigger do I set Device State Changed - Status - Becomes Equal to - no ack?

Presumably the same for detecting Motion / no motion?

Trying to get a Foscam F18904W going too with no success so far.

I've ordered a Foscam F19900P 1080P camera and hope to get it Saturday.

I had thought to use the FTP server on my router or run one up on one of my Macs and have files transferred directly from the camera rather than store local then keep retrieving them.

I spend up temporary access to the internet for one of the 4 C1 cameras and it was successfully saving images on an external FTP server I have.

So that may be a way around things

Thanks

Mike
