    XCam activeX Client

    Version v0.94 is now uploaded. Features:

    - no more vbasic programming required to adapt to your local situation. Most settings are read from "cameras.ini" file (sample supplied)
    - there is a "monitoring mode" in which the program cycles through the xcam's and broadcast to http, and a "recording mode" which is triggered by an x10 event, in which a clip is recorded to the hard disk.

    And of course, all sources are supplied for your adaptation / improvement.


    Please read "readme.txt" for further details and installation instructions.

    Have fun

    ---------------------------------------

    A visual basic program as activex client for homeseer activex server:

    - intercepts X10 events by use of hs.HSEvent
    - It looks for one of up to 16 X10 "device on" events (supposed to be a sensor signalling motion)
    - it subsequently sends a corresponding X10 "device On" (supposed to be a x10 camera), and after a timeout "device off" command (to switch the camera off)
    - While a camera is on, a Media Encoder is started


    In version V0.93, the parameters are read in from a "cameras.ini" file stored in your homeseer/config directory. This makes it possible to use the program without Visual Basic adaptation, just install and modify the .ini file.

    The VB project is of course included for your reference (and improvement ...)

    The VB sources should be self-explaining.


    Post questions and discussion in the discussion forum here

    PS. I had to modify the handling of the events in the later versions of HS, since the semantics of the parameters of HSEvent seem to be changed. Later versions (like HS 5.60) needs V0.92, early versions (like HS 5.24)need V0.91. I didn't dig out when the transition came.
