nolanbrown / dropcam Goto Github PK

Nest has changed things a lot. I wonder are these APIs used in this project still valid?

Wanted to get started using this to be able to turn my dropcam ON / OFF at certain times of the day.

When I go through the settings example in irb I get the following error after I run

Dropcam::Dropcam.new("USERNAME","PASSWORD")

NameError: uninitialized constant Dropcam::Base::OpenSSL

Is there another required gem that I am missing?

@nolanbrown if you don't care to maintain this I'm more than willing to take it over.

thoughts?

Is anyone having success streaming RTSP?

I have tried streaming a publicly available camera to my VLC player:

rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/be6db485223a41ee8c25ba468c056f8e

Few days ago I noticed the library stopped working and fails with the following error on login.

irb(main):001:0> require 'dropcam'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> dropcam = Dropcam::Dropcam.new("", "")
Dropcam::CameraNotFoundError: Camera Not Found

# Disable watermark
settings = camera.settings
settings["watermark.enabled"].set(false)

The above, as written in the documentation, seems to not actually be changing the watermark to a disabled status and I'm still getting it on snapshots. I'm wondering if Dropcam changed the value of the parameter name or has disabled removing it?

Looks like the API may have changed, description and title are both empty.

Has anyone come up with good way to stream the cam to the browser?

I am thinking about pursuing this kind of an approach (https://github.com/ghostbar/RTSP-Streaming.js) but maybe someone has a better solution.

Is this project still working for anyone? Since the move to nest.com, all I get is
Dropcam::CameraNotFoundError: Camera Not Found
