dlink-camera-api

Unlike FOSCAM cameras, DLink's don't seem to provide any sort of API to programmatically control its seetings. Bothered by the fact that I couldn't easily enable and disable motion detection via code as to integrate the camera into my home automation setup, I decided to write this library which essentially scrapes the page requests done by DLink's web interface and allows (for now) to enable and disable motion detection.

Installation

Just add the dependency in your project.clj and let Leiningen take care of the rest.

Usage

The usage is simple. Do the following:

(:require
   [dlink-camera-api.core :as dlink-api])
   
(dlink-api/do-camera-request
   {:ip "<CAMERA'S_IP_ADDRESS"
    :username "<YOUR_USERNAME>"
    :password "<YOUR_PASSWORD>"
    :form-params
    {:enable "yes"
     :mbmask "00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF0000FFFFFF00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
     :sensitivity "90"})

Keep in mind that the :form-params value is up to you to define. You can easily figure it out by using Chrome's or Firefox's debug tools and looking at the HTTP requests to the /cgi/admin/motion.cgi endpoint while you manually enable and disable motion detection in the camera's UI.
