Hi Leopold,

I very much like the idea of your addon. However, I cannot seem to get to run.

I have a WansView IP-Cam NCB543W (which is a very common model, often sold under various brands and names). In CasaRemote I was even able to implement it as Foscam (working just fine there), but not under your addon. The Port is 80, the URL is http://username:password@ip-address/videostream.cgi

Here is some more information about it: http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=wansview

Any chance you can tell me how to amend your addon to have it working with my cam?

Thank you very much in advance!

Your camera probably has the same CGI interface as the Foscam MJPEG cameras. The CGI commands are supposed to be documented here http://foscam.us/forum/download/file.php?id=401 in the file called "FC IP Camera CGI User Manual.pdf".

It should be a case of replacing the CGI commands (in service.py, default.py, resources/lib/foscam.py) with ones from this document, but at first glance I can't see how you would get the status of the motion detection alarm, so some more searching on the Foscam forums might be required.

As a test, can you get a snapshot image in a browser with http://username:password@ip-address/snapshot.cgi?
