Foscam Recording During Away Mode Only Using Pan/Tilt/Zoom Control and Motion Detection

This requires a Foscam IP Camera camera with PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) and CGI functionality (Source)

Foscam Cameras can be controlled by Home Assistant through a number of CGI commands. The following outlines examples of the switch, services, and scripts required to move between 2 preset destinations while controlling motion detection, but many other options of movement are provided in the Foscam CGI User Guide linked above.

The

switch.foscam_motion

will control whether the motion detection is on or off. This switch supports

statecmd

, which checks the current state of motion detection.

这需要具有PTZ（平移，倾斜，缩放）和CGI功能（源）的Foscam IP摄像机摄像头

Foscam相机可以由Home Assistant通过多个CGI命令来控制。 以下概述了在切换，服务和脚本控制运动检测时需要两个预设目的地的示例，但是在上面链接的Foscam CGI用户指南中还提供了许多其他运动选项。

switch.foscam_motion

将控制运动检测是否打开或关闭。 此开关支持

statecmd

，它检查运动检测的当前状态。

# Replace admin and password with an "Admin" privileged Foscam user
# Replace ipaddress with the local IP address of your Foscam
switch:
platform: command_line
switches:
#Switch for Foscam Motion Detection
foscam_motion:
command_on: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=setMotionDetectConfig&isEnable=1&usr=admin&pwd=password"'
command_off: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=setMotionDetectConfig&isEnable=0&usr=admin&pwd=password"'
command_state: 'curl -k --silent "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getMotionDetectConfig&usr=admin&pwd=password" | grep -oP "(?<=isEnable>).*?(?=</isEnable>)"'
value_template: '{{ value == "1" }}'

The service

shell_command.foscam_turn_off

sets the camera to point down and away to indicate it is not recording, and

shell_command.foscam_turn_on

sets the camera to point where I’d like to record. h of these services require preset points to be added to your camera. See source above for additional information.

shell_command.foscam_turn_off

服务设置相机指向并指示不录像，而

shell_command.foscam_turn_on

将相机设置为指向我要录像的位置。 这些服务的需要将预设点添加到您的相机。 有关其他信息，请参阅以上资料。

shell_command:
#Created a preset point in Foscam Web Interface named Off which essentially points the camera down and away
foscam_turn_off: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzGotoPresetPoint&name=Off&usr=admin&pwd=password"'
#Created a preset point in Foscam Web Interface named Main which points in the direction I would like to record
foscam_turn_on: 'curl -k "https://ipaddress:443/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=ptzGotoPresetPoint&name=Main&usr=admin&pwd=password"'

The

script.foscam_off

and

script.foscam_on

can be used to set the motion detection appropriately, and then move the camera. These scripts can be called as part of an automation with

device_tracker

triggers to set

home

and

not_home

modes for your Foscam and disable motion detection recording while

home

.
可以使用

script.foscam_off

和

script.foscam_on

来适当地设置运动检测，然后移动相机。 这些脚本可以作为自动化的一部分，使用

device_tracker

触发器来设置Foscam的

home

和

not_home

模式，并在

home

模式禁用运动检测记录。

script:
foscam_off:
sequence:
- service: switch.turn_off
data:
entity_id: switch.foscam_motion
- service: shell_command.foscam_turn_off
foscam_on:
sequence:
- service: switch.turn_off
data:
entity_id: switch.foscam_motion
- service: shell_command.foscam_turn_on
- service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.foscam_motion

To automate Foscam being set to “on” (facing the correct way with motion sensor on), I used the following simple automation:

为了使Foscam自动化设置为“开”（面向运动传感器的正确方式），我使用以下简单的自动化：

automation:
- alias: Set Foscam to Away Mode when I leave home
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: group.family
from: 'home'
action:
service: script.foscam_on
- alias: Set Foscam to Home Mode when I arrive Home
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: group.family
to: 'home'
action:
service: script.foscam_off
