![]() delay a bit before next action to let things settle down wait until user clicks camera relay on it seems the camera bounces relay during startup so just delay 30 seconds on power up initialize the relay pin as an output: initialize the pushbutton pin as an input: Int buttonState = 0 // variable for reading the pushbutton status They're used here toĬonst int buttonPin = 2 // ping which is HIGH when camera relay is shorted/closed, LOW when camera relay is openĬonst int relayPin = 3 // the number of the garage relay pin Here’s a cheap relay module on ebay (if you don’t want to wire one up):įinally, don’t forget to enable the “Pulse relay ON signal” option in my app, found under Edit Camera -> More Options. Here’s an example circuit for Arduino to control a relay: A little more money is to use an Arduino (very easy to program, code given below).īasicallly, use digital io 2 to read camera relay and use digital io pin 3 to control a separate relay to trigger garage door. ![]() Just a get a 8 pin microcontroller and program it to delay 30 seconds before copying the camera’s relay to another relay for the garage door. The work around for this solution was a little more work. In this case, I’m not using it with an alarm system. It turns the relay OFF to trigger an alarm to the alarm system. By default (after 10 seconds), the relay is ON to signal all ok to the alarm system. It think the reason the foscam does this is because the relay was designed for use with an alarm system. Within a few seconds (~10s), the camera always turns on the relay, by default!!! This means that when you lose power to the house and then get power back, the garage door will open because of the foscam relay turning on. When the foscam first gains power, the relay is off (normally open). The foscam, by default, does something unexpected. So far so good, everything works, but there is one more problem. With this option on, click on the relay ON button in my app will actually toggle on/off the camera’s relay so you don’t have to remember to turn relay off. however, you’ll have to remember to turn the relay OFF to allow your garage door switch to work again.Ī solution for this problem is to upgrade to the next release of IP Cam Viewer (3.7.9) and enable the “Pulse Relay On” option. Now, when foscam relay is turned on, the garage will go into action. connect pin 2 of foscam to 2nd left most pin on listmaster. connect pin 1 of foscam to left most pin on liftmaster.Ģ. The foscam has a relay that shorts 2 wires (pins 1 and 2) when turned on.ġ. The garage door switch just shorts 2 wires when pressed (this causes the garage door to take action). This is how I use the “relay” function to open/close my chamberlain liftmaster garage door (through a foscam FI8908W camera) using my IP Cam Viewer app. Posted in IP Cam Viewer - Android | Comments Closed It will take some time as I’m working on 4 different platforms now but it will be done. ![]() – motion detection option on the record mode device to save space, also allowing for efficient alerting of the phone client (all the work is done on the record device at home, phone just gets alerts, saving power and network bandwidth). – provide live API for all cameras in record mode, turning app into a simple “universal” translator for all supported cameras into one interface for integration with websites or other systems. – embed web server for HTML5 playback interface so you can access it from anywhere, just like a networked dvr. Now that recording is actually taking place in IP Cam Viewer for Android, here’s what I have planned for future releases regarding Record Mode:
