Used for calling functions of Foscam devices Python Library for Foscam IP Cameras
Getting Started Install $ pip install libpyfoscamcgi Simple example Here is a simple example to move camera lens up and stop after 1s.
from libpyfoscam import FoscamCamera from time import sleep
mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser') 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('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser', 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 libpyfoscam 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('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser', daemon=False) mycam.get_ip_info(print_ipinfo)
