Have two IP cameras from Foscam. Used the standard mail and FTP functions. Now, however, wanted to record moving images. In the past, I used gotcha, perfect program, but does not support IP camera `s.
I try Webcam xp but it takes 100% CPU time.

What program do you use?

I use the Synology surveillance software.
It's very nice software delivered with the DS211J-NAS.
With motion recording. Works great.

good software for pan/tilt/zoom op cams.

I use VLC player with homeseer to record video streams from a few Foscam camera's at the moment movement is detected. It's free, easy to use and you can record from several cams at the same time. If somebody is interested in the script I can post it here.

I will try VLC player, the script is for homeseer?

I just use a windows bat file which is triggered within HS after movement is detected. I will post it somewhere in the coming days for you.

This is the .bat file executed after movement, I use separate bat files for separate camera's.

Install vlc player first. You can change the recording time by modifying the time parameter. Last command line renames the video output file.


cd C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC
vlc "http://ip-addr:portnr/videostream.asf?user=username&pwd=password" --sout="#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst='C:\camera\voordeur.asf'},dst=nodisplay}" --run-time=15 --quiet vlc://quit
cd c:\camera
ren voordeur.asf "Voordeur_%date:~0,2%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~6,4%_%time:~0,2%_%time:~3,2%_%time:~6,5%.asf"
