NOW AVAILABLE in the HomeSeer Updater
X10 Camera Video Surveillance plug-in
BETA TESTERS NEEDED - PLEASE EMAIL ME.
Fellow X10 Camera owners:
A friend and I have been steadily working on a solution for video surveillance. I have wanted to be able to follow someone around the exterior of the house having it all recorded. Having this file saved, archived and then emailed a link of it, so I can stream it from home and see it at work. Using motion detectors to start a camera and record for X amount of minutes and stop, UNLESS another motion is detected on the same or elsewhere and then have the X10 camera switch to the new area of detection, and keep the recording ON. Also as a feature has a default to oscillating around cameras when no motion is detected so I can just sit and watch it all LIVE from work from a player box that you can put in your HomeSeer web. This Plug-in requires no extra software, such as Ivista, Webcam32 – no jpg’s, no ftp’ing, no multiple machines– just FREE Windows Media Encoder. We have made it a plug-in and it does go thru a CONFIG to determine what motion sensor turns on what camera. Very simple and sweet. No special video card required!
Requirements: a USB to Video device, Motion Sensors & X10 cameras.
I currently use a Dazzle but I’m sure that the X10 USB to video will work just fine. (I have one – just haven’t used it yet.)
Let me know if you're interested !!! If there is a great number of you – we’ll do our best to get this into the HomeSeer updater!
