Foscam motion detection arming

Post by pbdry »

Is there a way to sync a Foscam camera "Motion Detection Alarm" feature with the pannel arm/disarm commands ?
i.e : Foscam Motion Detection Alarm feature would be armed when the pannel is armed and disarmed when pannel is disarmed ?

Not at this time. We are working on our integrated camera offering now and will include functionality like you describe.

I use an X-10 appliance module to turn on the camera on an "away arm" and to turn off on disarm using PGM outputs on a DSC panel equipped with an Escort module.

Thanks for your wise input.
I will however keep it simple :
1) set PGM1 on "Armed Status" - PGM output option [5]
2) enable "Motion detection alarm" on the camera
3) wire a relay between PGM1 and the camera 5v power line

This should do the work and automatically switch on/off the camera (and the enabled "Motion detection") upon panel arming/disarming.
