Python Library for Foscam IP Cameras

Project description

Python Library for Foscam IP Cameras

Getting Started

Install

$ pip install python-foscam

Simple example

Here is a simple example to move camera lens up and stop after 1s.

from libpyfoscam import FoscamCamera
from time import sleep

mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser')
mycam.ptz_move_up()
sleep(1)
mycam.ptz_stop_run()

Asynchronous feature

This example uses the asynchronous feature provided by FoscamCamera.

Normally, a command is sent synchronously, waiting for results and blocking the main thread.

By initializing FoscamCamera with daemon=True (defaults to False), commands are sent asynchronously.

mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser', daemon=True)
mycam.get_ip_info()
mycam.get_port_info()
mycam.refresh_wifi_list()

Send command with callback

This example illustrates the use of a callback function when the command completes.

from libpyfoscam import FoscamCamera, FOSCAM_SUCCESS
def print_ipinfo(returncode, params):
    if returncode != FOSCAM_SUCCESS:
        print 'Failed to get IPInfo!'
        return
    print 'IP: %s, Mask: %s' % (params['ip'], params['mask'])

mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser', daemon=False)
mycam.get_ip_info(print_ipinfo)
