Downloads Version

* Only exposing security and motion accessories to complete the homebridge-camera-ffmpeg plugin

Important Notice

Currently, streaming only works on iOS 10.0. iOS 10.1+ enforces SRTP which is not implemented in the current streaming library. In addition, Foscam C1 streaming will not even work on iOS 10.0 due to funky firmware. Other than streaming, all the other functionalities should work as expected.

Prerequisites

  1. Node.js v6.6.0 or above
  2. HomeBridge v0.4.6 or above
  3. Only H.264 cameras are supported.

Installation

  1. Install homebridge using npm install -g homebridge.
  2. Install this plugin using npm install -g homebridge-foscam-security.
  3. Update your configuration file. See configuration sample below.

*stay, away, night define configuration for different ARMED state.

The supported configurations depend on your device. The Foscam public CGI defines the following:
bit 3 | bit 2 | bit 1 | bit 0
bit 0 = Ring
bit 1 = Send email
bit 2 = Snap picture
bit 3 = Record

The following seems to be valid for the C2 as well (not found in any documentation)
bit 7 | bit 6 | bit 5 | bit 4 | bit 3 | bit 2 | bit 1 | bit 0
bit 0 = Ring
bit 1 = Send email
bit 2 = Snap picture
bit 3 = Record
bit 7 = Push notification

Note: The configuration is defined as int, thus the followings are valid, e.g. 0 (Do Nothing), 1 (Ring), 2 (Email), 3 (Ring + Email), 4 (Picture), 12 (Picture and Record), 13 (Ring, Picture and Record), etc.

P.S.: Any ARMED state will activate motion detection by default.
