I’m super excited about the video integration with the V2 hub. A couple quick questions…
Will ST be able to accept video source feeds (Mp4)?
Also, I’m particularly interested in integrating an existing camera system I have, which can provide a RTSP service for each camera. I’m assuming something like this wont be available today, at launch, but might it be on the roadmap?
@slagle Are there any plans to support other D-Link cloud connected cameras? I have a DCS-942L and a DCS-5020L currently in use with my current hub (Staples Connect) and when I get my v2 hub I was hoping to be able to integrate these directly into the new system.
There has been comments regarding the ST team adding additional makes/models to the camera support line up, but the comments were pretty vague. I’m itching for a clearer answer as well, due to the current line up still costing $100+ per camera. ST is most definitely going in the right direction, but I would still love to see some compatible cameras in the $50 - $70 range each.
All in all, I’m still crazy excited about the new hub and all the awesome updates!
The 4 camera limit that is listed in the faq, is that 4 total or 4 simultaneous streams. I don’t have a large house and I have 6 cameras to cover everything.
All of the cameras that you’re supporting in this first release are in the $100 - $200 price range. It would be really nice to see some of the less expensive cameras, like for example the D-Link DCS-932L ($45 from Amazon) supported soon.
Currently I’ll be purchasing the DSC-5029L for around $100 bucks, but also one of the cheaper Dlink models… juuuuuust to try out the cheaper model to see if it’ll work.
Just because the cheaper models are not yet supported doesn’t mean we couldn’t get lucky! (<- one of the few times a double negative appears to work)
This is what we’re using for the integrations we announced. We’re working towards making this available for community developers after our beta period.
