Trigger action when motion detected on IP camera

[eckerho1]

Hi

There are IP cams available which can trigger a digital output when motion is detected.
This digital output can be conneted to a binary input on the KNX and then used by any logic on the HS.

But:
- to turn on the lights I would not rely on a IP Cam, better use a BWM.
- lots of IP cams have a integrated email function, no HS necessary

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't find it on this forum.

I'm going to buy 2 IP-camera's, to monitor the surroundings of my home. I haven't decided on the brand/type of camera. But what I want to realise is I can use "motion detected" as a triggering mechanism in my Gira HS.

Examples:
* When motion detected - turn on light in front yard;
* When motion detected - take snapshot and save in camera archive;
Optionally: if a certain brightness treshold has been reached (e.g. 200 lux) - turn on light in front yard;

Can this be done with any IP camera? Or do I need to pick a certain brand/type?

Can anyone share experience of realising this with their HS? Feel free to respond in German (and apologies for me not being able to write in German).

Thanks!
