I am interested in small spy cameras and I am wondering if anyone has found any that work with ST.
Here’s an example of what I’m looking at.
FREDI WIFI Camera, Mini Wireless Small Camera 1080P Nanny Camera with Motion Detection for Home Office
If the device can stream it’s live feed then you can use this app to view it:
The code is now available via the github link above. This was written live on my weekly show Live Code Fridays…
This just takes whatever stream URL you want, creates a child device from child smartapp and passes it into the device for streaming.
Will add more features to this over time, but its a simple way to add streaming video feeds to SmartThings.
Android works far better than iOS, since iOS doesn’t support as many protocols, etc. Might take some tinkering to find the right settings / resolution, etc. to optimize.
How to Install:
Github integration works for smartapps and devicetypes, just add the repo and copy down the files
or
Install from Code for each smartapp and the devicetype
Publish the connect app and devicetype (don’t publish the child smartapp)
Go to Marketplace…
But I have no experience with this model camera so I couldn’t tell you if it can stream live to anything except their proprietary app. You’d have to contact the company or get the manual.
