Python package for Paradox Modules
Project description
Paradox® HD77 Camera API
Introduction
This is a python module that provides an interface for interacting with a Paradox® HD77 camera (and possibly other models).
This is licensed under the MIT license.
Getting started
This API is not documented by Paradox®.
I used reverse engineering on the HD77 model (v1.25.7) to discover it and create the python functions to access it.
It does not work with the IP150 network module and has not yet been tested with other camera models.
I also discovered how to discover Paradox® devices on the network and created the code in the helpers folder (see the documentation below).
Install
pip install pypdxapi
Quick Start
API usage example
import asyncio
from pypdxapi.camera import ParadoxHD77
async def main():
"""Show example of connecting to your Paradox HD77 camera."""
async with ParadoxHD77(host='192.168.1.3', port=80, module_password='paradox') as hd77:
await hd77.login(usercode='111111', username='user1')
if hd77.is_authenticated():
print(await hd77.vod(channel_type='normal'))
if __name__ == "__main__":
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
Discovery usage example
from pypdxapi.helpers import discover_modules
modules = discover_modules()
