Motion notification

[clrmsc]

Hi guys, motion notification works, if I use only esp32cam?

This plugin does not provide motion detection on its own, only ways for your camera to trigger a motion detector in HomeKit.

I’m not familiar with the esp32cam, but if it has some way of detecting motion already, I can possibly help hook into it.

My D-link 960L have motion detection but not work in HomeKit.

@felho001 I looked up the user manual for that camera, and on page 38 it says the camera has FTP support.

There is a work-in-progress plugin that can trigger motion alerts in HomeKit based on FTP uploads that will likely work for you.

@Sunoo I neded set my d-link settings webpage copfig ftp server?

[Sunoo]

If you used that plugin, yes, you would set your camera to upload to the FTP server created by that plugin, on the port you choose, into a folder with the same name as your camera.

I’m also planning on writing an SMTP plugin that would work with a camera’s email support.

Ok when i get home i will try

@felho001 I wrote up a quick configuration guide on that plugin's page: https://github.com/Sunoo/homebridge-ftp-motion#camera-configuration

[felho001]

I installed the plugin:

[Sunoo]

Did you do the other camera config mentioned on that page? Also, port 21 is unlikely to work, as ports below 1024 require you to be running as root.

[felho001]

Only DCS 960L knows ftp! Da huta C46 not supported ftp. This is new config pls chek.

Assuming that 192.168.1.40 is where your Homebridge is running, the only issue I see is that ‘Path’ on your camera should be ‘Nappali’.

[felho001]

it is my synology nas 192.168.1.40 patch is my nas file system home-kamera-napalli. When I tested dcs settings succsessfull save test image.

This plugin requires that you upload images to it. If you’re using the FTP upload feature of your camera to save images already, you’ll need to either need to wait for me to write support for that into this plugin, or wait until I finish the SMTP plugin so that you can use the Email ability of your camera instead.

[felho001]

Ok. I will be wait. Thx

[Sunoo]

I've added a plugin for using the email functionality, if you aren't currently using that feature of the camera, maybe this would be a better fit: https://github.com/Sunoo/homebridge-smtp-motion

[Sunoo]

FTP upload support has been added to this plugin. The information on configuration is on the main page.

[felho001]

I now sent new ftp motion settings for new version. I will see how to work...
