Hi, I just got a pair of FI8910W cameras. I know that you can set it up so that when motion is detected you can send an email and have stuff sent to an ftp server, but is there any way I can have the camera send an http request to a specified url when motion is detected? Thanks.

Yes, there is. But it is not documented well.

Please dump/look at your internal camera settings by doing the below:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = Local IP Address or DDNS
#### = Port

When prompted ("You can't use a Chrome browser to do this but any other browser will work, without including a user= and pwd=, see below"). Please enter an Admin User Level Id and password.

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:####/get_params.cgi

Look for:

http: 0：Disable notifying with http visit on alarm；1：enable

http_url: The Url

To set these you would do:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:####/set_alarm.cgi?http=1&http_url=http://mydomain.com&user=admin&pwd=password

The actual URL above could go to anything, x.php, x.html and so on.

Once the actual URL has been set then in the future, to enable/disable this alarm notification is, all that is needed is:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:####/set_alarm.cgi?http=1&user=admin&pwd=password

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:####/set_alarm.cgi?http=0&user=admin&pwd=password
