HS/FS - √ - HS and IP cam: how to start recording ?

[Warichet]

Hello,

I've installed a couple of Cisco IP camera, ref: CIVS-IPC-2500.
I can see the data stream via the browser and the cam is integrated in the HS via the xxAPI.
When looking at the Visu, I see the video data stream.

The management page of the cam allows for applications: e-mail, ftp, http; all triggerable from an event like "motion detection".

In case of motion detection, an e-mail is send, no problem. So far, so good.

Now, I want the HS to record the stream (ftp to the NAS) only under certain circumstances, i.e. when the alarm is On.

Any idea about how I can do this ?

I've read a couple of posts about Mobotix, it looks like it is feasable but got no clue yet.

Answering my own question (kind of self service )

Set-up:
Cisco 2500 camera set-up
- Menu: "Applications", "Mail/FTP/HTTP", the Base URL must point to the camera PHP script (on the NAS)
- in the same menu, the boxes "HTTPS" and "POST" must remain unchecked to force usage of the http_get method
- Menu: "Event", check the boxes: Trigger Event: Enable, Motion detection: FTP, HTTP

Workings:
In case of camera's "motion detection":
- the PHP script is executed (mentionned in the Base URL), and ***at the same time***,
- a video file i.e. .asf is written to the ftp directory on the NAS (directory specific to each cam)
The script sets a KNX GA, to ON i.e. "Alerte" (via eibd & GroupsWrite)
The script reads a specific KNX GA, i.e. "Surveillance: On" (via eibd & GroupsRead)
If the GA is On:
- the script moves the video file to another directory, i.e. "Camera-Alarm" for archiving
- the script sends me an e-mail with the video file attached, i.e. .asf
If the GA is Off: the script deletes the video file.
In normal conditions, the cams directories are empty !

I want to thank all the brave souls who helped me here and here, although I've still no clue about the HS flags

It's not obvious for a non-programmer.
