Smartcam hd vs hd pro

[eric10k93 (Eric)]

Couldn’t find anything specifically related to this with a quick search… there may be an answer buried somewhere that wasn’t obvious…

I’m brand new to smart things and I have both a samsung smartcam hd pro and a smartcam hd. I’m a little miffed that the smartcam hd doesn’t appear to be supported by default under the smart things app…

Is there a way to connect a smartcam hd to smart things, not just the hd pro? Even if it’s just a dev hack I’ll take it, haha.

Maybe this would work (@pstuart?):

[RELEASE] Generic Video Camera DeviceType, Yes, Live Video Streaming

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…

Awesome, obviously official support would always be better and I can’t quite figure why they only support the Pro version… But what can you do…

I’ll play with this and give it a shot.

Thanks so much!
