Good luck getting started with this. I've tried something similar in the past using this thread as my starting point: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=45613 I ended up using a Linksys WVC80N IP camera to detect motion. If motion detected, it would FTP the images to my xbmc htpc. A local script on the htpc would constantly monitor the ftp directory for new images. If an image was found it would send a message to localhost with the newest image as the popup picture, then delete the images. A bit rudimentary but it worked nicely.

Hey I'm the author of that blog post, thanks for linking it. Anything you want help with let me know.

It's still a work in progress and I will be posting a better version of the script on github in a while.

Anyone know where I can find the script for this

I'm working on making this happen as well. I like the way doobiest has it setup as it's not as large and intrusive and automatically hides on it's own. I got an idea on how to get everything working now except the XBMC part. I know that with Frodo, there is the new JSON interface that we have to work with, so I'm hoping doobiest updates us with an easy solution.

FWIW, I've written a detailed guide on how I plan on accomplishing everything else that I will share as soon as I know it's working good. Right now I have it set to FTP motion activated image to a folder that is watched by EventGhost, then a script from Eventghost would execute whatever XBMC thing needs to happen, then delete the image file.

Hello, do you know if it is possible to display an ip camera stream on top of the media xbmc is reproducing? I would like to monitor my baby and have the ip camera stream sitting in one of the corners of the TV while a film is being played.

Thanks

Awesome post. However, I have a camera that only delivers an rtsp stream.
I can play the stream in XBMC by creating a 'filename.strm' file containing the 'rtsp://ipadress:port' as text.
I can't seem to be able to get a pop up window in which i can play that stream for X seconds.

I haven't been able to find the dialog kaitoast.xml file on my raspbmc.
I don't know how to remove filename.jpg files from an ftp location after having played/showed them in a pop up them in XBMC. (neither get the pop up to the size I want==> don't know where to define pop up window size..)

I'm all out of ideas

can anyone help me, been googling and tesing for days now.... Sad

greetz,

I was just pointing out open source addons that do similar things, there are lots of posts there on triggering addons from doorbells etc.
