    iCatcher by iCode- CCTV<>Homeseer- anyone integrated?

    I'm trialing iCatcher CCTV software by iCode Systems. (http://www.icode.co.uk/icatcher/)

    I have their Sentry product and was looking for more features, so thought I'd try the full monty. It's very robust, AND includes some kind of X10 integration.

    I'm still reading on it when I have a minute here and there, but I thought it worth asking if anyone has experience with using iCatcher with Homeseer? My primary goal would be to have iCatcher trigger Homeseer. Example: Motion detected in a particular part of the camera's view = Notification event in Homeseer is activated.

    Will add more as I learn & try more... but please offer any advice if you've tried this before :-)

    Thanks

    I use iCatcher.. its running on a standalone pc on the network and I use BLlastimage to pull the latest captures from each camera into HSTouch and also HS2 Status page.

    I dont trigger events off the captures as I have motion sensors next to the cameras which does what I need...

      I'm hoping to use iCatcher's masking & alerts to trigger HS based on movement in only parts of the view. If I can't, your way of placing a motion detector next to it is next-best I suppose.

      I'll have to check out BLlastimage. I'll take a guess that HST behaves better with that setup than my current one, where I have it poll the Foscam itself. If I have a cam unplugged for any reason or it's unreachable, the whole HST interface on my iPhone is a drag, loads & responds slowly. Otherwise it's been decent with two cams on a screen along with other content.

      I'll be attempting to run HS + iCatcher with 2-4 feeds, and a few other smaller tasks on this ol' Core2Duo box. Hopefully I'll succeed...
