Python Library for Foscam IP Cameras
Getting Started

$ pip install python-foscamSimple example
Here is a simple example to move camera lens up and stop after 1s.
from libpyfoscam import FoscamCamera
from time import sleep
mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser')
mycam.ptz_move_up()
sleep(1)
mycam.ptz_stop_run()Asynchronous feature
This example uses the asynchronous feature provided by FoscamCamera.
Normally, a command is sent synchronously, waiting for results and blocking the main thread.
By initializing FoscamCamera with daemon=True (defaults to False), commands are sent asynchronously.
mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser', daemon=True)
mycam.get_ip_info()
mycam.get_port_info()
mycam.refresh_wifi_list()Send command with callback
This example illustrates the use of a callback function when the command completes.
from libpyfoscam import FoscamCamera, FOSCAM_SUCCESS
def print_ipinfo(returncode, params):
if returncode != FOSCAM_SUCCESS:
print 'Failed to get IPInfo!'
return
print 'IP: %s, Mask: %s' % (params['ip'], params['mask'])
mycam = FoscamCamera('192.168.0.113', 88, 'admin', 'superuser', daemon=False)
mycam.get_ip_info(print_ipinfo)
