Support for Foscam FI8918W IP Camera
I have a few of theses and would like to add them. The Panasonics work very well so far. B

As i have 2 Foscam ip cams, i don't want to spend so much money for something i'm not sure is supported.
ATM, i directly record the videostream on my NAS, via the curl function, and a cron job. The only downside is that it records everything, and not just when there is a movement.
Maybe i'll try later to create another cron job to erase all videos not linked to any snapshot done directly by the camera software.
Could you share your curl script, maybe on github or something public, and how do you detect the stream address? I have a very cheap chinese PAN camera. I want to buy a better HD IP cam but I am always interested in alternative approaches to integrate directly as you are doing at the moment
