Synology IPCAM

This is a simple python script to activate Synology DS Surveillance Station 7 based on inputs from a RPi PiFace.

Files

• ipcam.py - monitors events on the PiFace
• trigger.py - sends http request to Syno DS SS7

Setup

1. Create limited user in Surveillance Station and add the username and password to trigger.py
2. Create custom alarms in Surveillance Station for different "External Event"
3. Change ipcam.py s.t. get_event() returns a tuple containing an external event, if any changes is detected by the PiFace
4. On the Raspberry Pi type: crontab -e and add: @reboot /usr/bin/tmux new-session -d -s IPCAM /home/pi/ipcam.py
5. Make sure pifacedigitalio is installed: pip install pifacedigitalio

Reboot the Raspberry Pi and now you can at any time check the status of the script: tmux a -t IPCAM.

Todo

I can't get the InputEventListener to work (and might not be the only one), however this would make the implementation of ipcam.py much simpler.
