Camera Archive in Scene

Other Devices & Integrations Door Locks & Sensors

Anyone know why I can’t have my IP cameras archive an image as part of a scene? When I try to create a new scene all my cameras show up with a red circle with a cross through it, not allowing me to access any of its functions. I’ve got Foscams installed. I want to be able to archive a photo when my door lock is being accessed.

I too want to do this. Did you have any joy?

I think you need to have the camera’s MAC address listed for photo archive to work.

I am having this same issue as well. I have my camera’s MAC address listed but I am not able to select the camera as part of a scene. Are cameras not able to be selected in a scene?

Did anyone come up with a work around for this?

I received a work around for this issue from George at my.mios.com in the form of a LUUP script:
You just need to change the camera ID to the camera that you want to archive from.

local CAMERA_ID = 30
luup.inet.wget(“http://127.0.0.1:3480/data_request?id=archive_video&cam=”… CAMERA_ID …“&format=1”)

Also the wiki has been documented for archive_video: http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Requests#archive_video

Hope that helps.

I’m having trouble figuring this out. How do I utilize the luup in a scene to allow my foscam to archive pics when the trigger I set is tripped? Do I paste your luup code in the Luup tab at the top of my new scene? Or am I pasting it into the luup attached to my trigger?

Also, need help knowing how to tailor the luup you provided to my setup.

Obviously sort of a noob so any help is appreciated!

Hi cnguitarist,

Did you manage to get this working? Yes you should just need to copy the 2 lines into the LUUP section of your scene, then when the scene is triggered it will run the LUUP code.

Remember you need to change the camera ID number to the device ID number of your camera which can be found in the Advanced tab of you camera device.
