HTTP Request upon FTP upload of snapshot

Kristian Olofsson shared this idea ago

Under Consideration

I use a Foscam motion camera and would like to trigger an HTTP request upon FTP upload of snapshot since its the same thing as a motion trigger. I could then use my camera instead of another motion sensor to trigger events for eg. lights, alarms etc.

I like this idea 0

I might missunderstod something here. Isnt it a std feature that the pictures will be uploaded to the Zipabox FTP upon motion? Or what will this script provide extra?

Yes, i do understand that could with this way take control of the upload and trigger extra HTTP requests upon motion. But with my Foscam camera i can already now trigger a HTTP request upon motion. So...

Id like insteat to be able to upon motion, when the HTTP request is triggered start a PHP script that catches the videostream for eg. 3 minutes. and then uploads the file to eg. dropbox.

I guess here is a start...

This triggers by motion so i will need to remove the motion triggers and have it started when i want instead.

- Camera send HTTP request upon motion to php script and Zipato sensors

- Script starts to record for 3 minutes and possible alarm

- file uploaded to dropbox

- Sensor reset
