Foscam Python Library for H.264 IP Cameras (FI9821W/P/HD816W/P)

TODO

1. Package setup.py and upload to pypi.
2. Support more camera models.

Getting Started

Simple example:

Here is a simple example to move camera lens up and stop after 1s.

    from foscam import FoscamCamera
    from time import sleep

    mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.110', 88, 'admin', 'foscam')
    mycam.ptz_move_up()
    sleep(1)
    mycam.ptz_stop_run()

Asynchronous feature:

This example uses the asynchronous feature provided by FoscamCamera. Normally, a command is sent synchronously, waiting for results and blocking the main thread. By initializing FoscamCamera with daemon=True (defaults to False), commands are sent asynchronously.

    mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.110', 88, 'admin', 'foscam', daemon=True)
    mycam.get_ip_info()
    mycam.get_port_info()
    mycam.refresh_wifi_list()

Send command with callback:

This example illustrates the use of a callback function when the command completes.

    from foscam import FoscamCamera, FOSCAM_SUCCESS
    def print_ipinfo(returncode, params):
        if returncode != FOSCAM_SUCCESS:
            print 'Failed to get IPInfo!'
            return
        print 'IP: %s, Mask: %s' % (params['ip'], params['mask'])

    mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.110', 88, 'admin', 'foscam', daemon=False)
    mycam.get_ip_info(print_ipinfo)
