Kinect camera ?

[Ekinox09]

Hi, may we use the kinect as an Homeseer camera, including in HSTouch usage ?
Best regards.

I'm working on a better way (less ressource intensive) to implement it, but here is a way to do it right now

Create a recurring event that take a picture and write it somewhere in the HS3 html directory



then in the HSTouch config page, setup a new camera using the url of the jpg

OK, thx. Sounds like an acceptable workaround. Thank you for your quick answeR.

in version 3.0.0.19 available here I have added a snapshot server to the plugin that let you use the Kinect camera as a regular NetCam

in the config page, go to the camera tab and tick the "Use Kinect camera as Netcam" checkbox, it will start the snapshot server, then you can use the snapshot url in HSTouch (or anywhere else) as a regular camera.

Note: you need to run the plugin as Administrator for this to work.

The Camera works great on a remote Kinect.

in version 3.0.0.20 available here I have added the possibility to use the kinect motor to move the kinect up and down

in HSTouch configuration set the "Pan Up Start" and "Pan Down Start" as in the screenshot below. It will allow you to tilt the kinect sensor up and down when you tap the up and down arrows from the HSTouch interface.



the step parameter is optional and let you specify the number of degrees you wan the sensor to move for one tap.
