This package provides a lightweight Javascript API class for controlling a TP-Link NC450 camera.

Installing

Install the the npm module:

$ npm install nc450

Import the module in your application:

var NC450 = require('nc450');

Example

var NC450 = require('nc450');
var camera = new NC450({
  username: 'admin',

  host: 'nc450.local.dev'
})
camera.login()

Discovery

The module also exports a handy camera discovery function that uses Bonjour service discovery to probe available HTTP servers on the network and find NC450 cameras.

Usage:

var discover = require('nc450').discover

discover(30000, function (host) {
  // Executed per discovered camera
})
.then(function (hostList) {
  // Executed when discover timeout occurs and returns full list of discovered cameras.
})
