Project description

This is extremely raw at the moment. Use at your own risk.

Hopefully this is enough to get you going:

In order to take actions on cameras directly (such as change the LED state on a UVC Micro or get a snapshot from the camera) you need to set the admin password for it. The NVR tells us the username, but we must store the password. To do this:

$ uvc --name Porch --set-password
This will store the administrator password for a camera
for later use. It will be stored on disk obscured, but
NOT ENCRYPTED! If this is not okay, cancel now.

Password:
Confirm:
Password set

Then you can do things like get a snapshot from the camera directly:

$ uvc --name Porch --get-snapshot > foo.jpg
