I’ve now added local video recording support. I will be modifying my D-Link Smart Security Camera smartapp to support video recording for the DCS-942L.
Edit: I’ve now updated the Smart Security Camera SmartApp to include support for the DCS-942L. Go check it out!
I’ve decided to leverage my D-Link Camera Manager (Connect) devices and create a SmartApp that will move the camera to preset views (if the camera has pan/tilt) and take 4 pictures and/or a local video clip when an event happens. It is loosely based on the Photo Burst app with a lot of added features.
What it does: Simply, when a specific event occurs (door/window opens, motion detected, etc.) the camera will automatically move to a preset location (as set up in your D-Link settings) and will take 4 pictures roughly 7 seconds apart each (quickest I could get it to work without dropping pictures) and/or record a video clip for a set amount of time. All of the photos it takes are stored in the SmartThings cloud for a short period of time (30 days maybe), this is standard for all image cap…
