Testing with FI9805W

[vanisher]

I'm testing ultranetcam3 with the Foscam FI9805W camera.
It seems that everything is setup like it should

If i select the Cameras tab and click on refresh i''ll get the current picture of the cam.

I tried to use the take snapshot functionality on the device but nothing happens.
I tried triggering the take snapshot with an event, but no snapshots are created.

something i''m doing wrong?

All the tests you just describe take a *single* snapshot which only updates the picture in the Camera's root image directory. It sounds like you're looking to create a series of snapshots. If that is the case, you need to use the "Event Shapshot" HomeSeer action. Event snapshots allow you to take a series of snapshots, then provides options to e-mail, create video, archive or upload to an FTP site. As an example, I use an Event Snapshot to e-mail a video of anyone entering my garage when the motion sensor triggers.

so if I understood it right, if you use the take snapshot from the event only the current snapshot is updated? No archive?

[Ultrajones]

That is correct. You'll either need to manually archive the snapshot are simply use a snapshot event to do the archiving.

Ah, a assumed it was like the standard NetCam plugin.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Next thing is indeed the video.

[vanisher]

where do you need to place the ffmpeg files to get that working?

[Ultrajones]

You'll see the download link from the Options web page.

I downloaded the 64bits static build.. getting 3x .exe
No setup or something

[Ultrajones]

Right, no setup. Simply plop the ffmpeg.exe in the HomeSeer3 root directory.
