Foscam Client

Client for Foscam HD cameras that use low level proprietary protocol. Tested on Foscam FI9816P V2. Developed starting from the information reported here. For the moment the client:

• connects to the camera
• keep-alive the camera
• listens to motion detection signals from the camera (if motion detection is enable on the camera)
• when a motion detection occurred, record a raw h264 video and split them in JPEG frames (using FFmpeg)

Requirements

• Python 2.7
• pip
• virtualenv
• FFmpeg
