Hi, new to this forum. Before I dig in to this myself I would like to ask if anybody has done this before:
Would like to have a simple script for doing the following
1. By polling the camera (or by camera triggered action?) detect motion
2. Upon detection of motion, request a snapshot from the camera
Have seen that the API/CGI command for step 2, for Hikvision, is
http://<username>:<password>@<ip address>/Streaming/channels/1/picture
is this correct? A corresponding command to get the motion detect status?
Have done a similar script in Python for a Foscam device, but prefer to wait and see if somebody already has done this for Hikvision, than inventing the wheel again...
Regards
