node-foscamhd

simple node client for Foscam HD cameras providing a few basic operations

Usage

setup and configure

const FoscamHdClient = require('foscamhd-client');

let client = new FoscamHdClient({
  protocol: 'http', // if not specified, defaults to 'http'
	host: '192.168.1.123',
	port: 1138, // if not specified, defaults to 80
	user: 'admin',
	pass: 'p4$$w4rd'
});

get url of mjpeg stream todo: add optional guest and operator user/pass sections to config, pass in role as param

client.getStreamUrl(function(err, url){
	// handle error and/or do stuff
	// url should be something like: http://domain.com:1138/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=admin&pwd=sup3rs3cr3t
});

moves camera to preset location 'name' todo: add method to surface list of preset names

client.gotoPreset(name, function(err, resp){
	// handle error and/or do stuff
});

get current infrared mode ('auto' or 'manual')

client.getIrMode(function(err, mode){
	// handle error and/or do stuff
});

set infrared mode ('auto' or 'manual')

client.setIrMode(mode, function(err, resp){
	// handle error and/or do stuff
});

set infrared led state ('on' or 'off') note: IrMode must be set to 'manual' or setting the state will have no effect

client.setIrState(state, function(err, resp){
	// handle error and/or do stuff
});
