Title: Cameras (laptop, webcam, etc)
Post by: kevin1 on September 10, 2014, 06:04:33 PM
Can the camera in my HG Win7 laptop be accessed by HG?  I know it works (with Skype at least), but I don't see any way in HG to access it.  Does the Rpi camera interface work with Windows somehow

If nothing builtin to HG, looks like I could install something like YawCam to create a stream Camera->YawCam->IP->router->IP->HG.  Is there any way to have it trigger security alarm in HG?  YawCam can run .exe or .bat on motion detection. WebService API would require password in the batchfile (start http://user:[email protected]/api/HomeAutomation.X10/A1/Control.On (http://user:[email protected]/api/HomeAutomation.X10/A1/Control.On))
