Good.luck with that… the sensitive sucks.I would get 1000 notifications a day. Even on.lowest serting
Ed, did you get an answer or solution to your camera problem? I’m getting the same error on my d-link camera and then a CODEC_PARAMETERS_NOT_FOUND error.
I did finally get mine working. I removed it entirely from ST and added it back in and voila! It worked. I have not had any issues since.
I’m curious if this could get motion sensing working for this camera:
So, on the “unknown error code1” item, I have reset the two cameras twice but no luck yet. any idea how to solve this? what’s weird is I bought 3 cameras, first works perfectly, next two have same error but no issues setting up. video through smart things just the error
Hi all.
Can someone please tell me if it’s possible to “software” deactivate these cameras??.
I was sure I read in these forums that people were able to “turn off” the camera through smart things. This feature is no where in the native Samsung app.
Thanks in advance
Well damn. Looks like I’ve been duped like many of you 
I naively thought that buying a samsung camera for $190 that was supported by smartthings would let me use the features of the camera through smartthings.
Am I missing something, or is the only thing I can do in smartthings is view the camera feed? No triggers, no apps, no motion detection, nothing? I don’t understand the point of it’s integration with smartthings if all it does is show me the feed, which I can get in the samsung app.
I must be missing something… I’m happy with smartthings, but I might have to return this camera - I was grossly mislead into its purchase.

The integration with SmartThings isn’t for control of the camera, it’s for the ability to record video clips to the cloud when Smart Home Monitor goes off. Anything past that should be done in the Samsung native app. The D-Link supported cameras have community devicetypes that give more functionality but I believe Samsung hasn’t opened their API for this type of integration.
Well, I understand that now. But that just makes me feel like I have a really handicapped expensive camera acting as a really cheap webcam without the features that the camera is actually capable of.
The camera “support” as it is, is completely unnecessary. See, if you’re required to use an additional motion sensor anyways, you may as well just set up a notification saying “Blah blah motion detected, go open the other app to check your camera” and buy whatever camera you want that’s cheaper or better suits your needs rather than even bothering with the smartcam.
I’d really like an official statement from SmartThings about motion detection support on this camera. If you look at this thread, in Oct 2015 Jackchi from the SmartThings staff told everyone that this was done and would be in the next release (2.0.4). He later said that it missed the release, but would be in the next one. I relied on this and bought the camera (without a separate motion detector) and have been waiting every since.

Maybe @jackchi can comment on this capability…
There’s a lot of things that should be doable with the camera within SmartThings:
- utilize motion sensor
- utilize 2 way radio
- zoom in/out
- ability to power down the camera via schedules or routines (not turn of the feed in SmartThings and remian on in the Samsung app)
- the ability to take a snap shot or record at will within the app (also being able to record to the local storage
Can we get these considers

I’ve been trying to read throughout this long thread, but from what I understood is that SmartThings Staff @jackchi is stating since last year that the SmartCam HD Pro integration will be “comming soon” to ST but really the only integration I see is the hability to see the feed and reboot the camera.
Is there any specific deadline estimated to the release of any improvement on the integration? Any non-official SmartApp you know about that can be used?
Any other suggestions from the community or ST Staff would be welcomed.
Thanks!!

kudos to that…
The motion sensor detection has been tabled until further notice. Currently if we enable motion tracking, we would also enable the motion notification in the official Samsung SmartCam application.
Our Product Manager @ndasu could give you more of an insight into our product pipelines.

[/quote]I guess I would say, “So what?” That is only a problem if you have the official Samsung app installed. I do, but only because SmartThings won’t do motion detection. And in any case, on both iOS and Android, you can control notifications so even if you have the official app installed, you can just suppress notifications.
Please release this feature.
not to mention how about release a device driver so we can use the camera for snapshots etc or video Without having to pay for your monitoring services. I just want a basic device type that I can have take a series of snapshots or short 1 minute video on various occurances… there is no support for your own camera when we can do this with 3rd party cameras.
I agree. Please release it.
Agreed, it seems pretty ridiculous that basic features of a Samsung product … does not work with another Samsung product!! I would like to see many features added to SmartThings that natively the SmartCam app can currently offer:
- Utilizing the built in motion
- Utilizing the 2 way audio on the camera
- Being able to take snap shots or videos Ad-Hoc when needed
- The ability to power off the camera remotely, with triggers, routines, etc
We (I know I have) been promised that this was in works and I’m sure many of us in the SmartThings community would love to see these features available.
I agree I would like to see all these features offered in the ST app including the noise alert. It is much more accurate than most glass break sensors. I have a smartcam HD pro set up near all of my lower windows that someone could reach from outside without a ladder for this functionality as well as video and motion detection. These cameras really can provide the complete package. I don’t understand the backwards thinking on this from ST or Samsung.
