=================

Foscam Python Library for H.264 IP Cameras (FI9821W/P/HD816W/P)

TODO
----
1. Package setup.py and upload to pypi.
2. Support more camera models.

Getting Started
---------------
### Simple example:
Here is a simple example to move camera lens up and stop after 1s.
```python
from foscam import FoscamCamera
from time import sleep

mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.110', 88, 'admin', 'foscam')
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.
```python
mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.110', 88, 'admin', 'foscam', 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.
```python
from foscam 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('192.168.0.110', 88, 'admin', 'foscam', daemon=False)
mycam.get_ip_info(print_ipinfo)
```
