Let’s improve the home security with monitoring the main entrance door: whenever the door is open then 2 pictures, with 5 sec interval, are sent to a given address. We will use a Foscam FI8910W and the Fibaro HC2.
The detailed workflow of the script would be:
(i) The HSM02 door contact detector is armed
(ii) The HSM02 detects a breach at time T0.
(iii) The video camera takes a picture at T0 and send the file by email
(iv) The video camera takes a second picture at T0 + 5 sec and send the file by email
The HC2 manages well IP video camera as a special device: IP camera is not like the other z-wave based device since there is no z-wave technology embedded in the IP camera! Therefore the inclusion process of an IP camera is different: you only need the IP address and login/password of the camera.
I selected the FI8910W IP camera from Foscam because of the following:
