Hi All, i bought a new camera with pan/tilt http://www.mwr.com.tw/ip-camera/c1062r.htm

here a manual http://www.solwise.co.uk/downloads/files/c1002qig.pdf

I need some help because i'm not a programmer: in camera cdrom there's a document
called programming guide with HTTP-API that make me think i can automatize some jobs with explorer.
i have Homeseer, and by conditions i could force camera to move to a desired position automatically , or i think so..
i can not UPLOAD the pdf because is bigger than 300k
see the screenshot.
i can send the pdf to who could help me
thanks for support

Hi Lorenzo,

Let's see if the easy way works. Have you tried the HSTouch xml file that Homeseer provides for the foscam pan/tilt camera they sell?

ftp://ftp.homeseer.com/pub/HomeSeer%20P ... Camera.zip

It may set you on the right track for the events you want to create.

Regards,
John

Hi John, i'll try but i see this is used for live feed into HSTOUCH. I would like to do this :

cam has pan tilt so can move to preset positions
i set some positions in it
ms13 can detect movements and send info to HS
i create an event about it , with action : launch program - my program is IE with some code of the API
camera moves to preset corresponding and because it has screenshooting camera takes the picture of the movement .... along 360 degrees , by itself . That's my idea

Ok camera works, with simple code in the address bar of explorer.
now i need a little help.
what is the code to make homeseer start explorer and navigate to a web address?

hs.launch...... DON'T KNOW , please help

I would say hs.GetURL

hs.GetURL("your_camera_ip\your_cgi_command","/",TRUE,80)

I do not think it will open explorer though, but you probably don't need that.

Hi John what ----,"/",TRUE,80.... stands for?
thanks !

Hi Lorenzo,

I have no idea to be honest. I just copied this from an example in the Homeseer helpfile. I assume 80 is the portnumber, but the rest

Have a look here:

Thanks ! Now i must place it on the wall and then i'll try these settings. Stay tuned

Strange, with GetURL i see a GRAYBOX without html-formatting

example this point to CNN.COM

sub main()

dim page

page = hs.GetURL("cnn.com","/",TRUE,80)
msgbox page
end sub
and this is the result
