I’ve been on a journey to integrate my Foscam FI8910W camera with Vera Lite U7, and I’m thrilled to share my success story! Initially, I faced challenges with controlling the camera’s tilt and pan functions. After spending hours going through forums and tweaking settings, I finally got it working smoothly. Here’s a quick rundown of my setup:
- Device File: D_DigitalSecurityCamera2.xml
- Import File: I_FoscamPTZ.xml
- URL: /snapshot.cgi?user=[USER]&Pwd=[PASS]
- Commands: I utilized a range of commands including camera_full_screen, camera_left, camera_right, camera_up, camera_down, and more to ensure full control.
The key was ensuring that the device file and import file were correctly configured. I also found that using the right commands in the Vera interface made all the difference. It was a bit trial and error, but the satisfaction of getting it working was worth every minute!
If anyone else is struggling with similar issues, here are a few tips:
- Double-check your device and import files for any typos or mismatches.
- Test each command individually to ensure they’re working before setting up automations.
- Don’t hesitate to reach out to the community for support—there are some amazing experts out there!
I’m now enjoying seamless camera control and it’s been a game-changer for my home security setup. Happy integrating everyone!
