This is extremely raw at the moment. Use at your own risk.

Hopefully this is enough to get you going::

Usage: uvc [options]

Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -H HOST, --host=HOST UVC Hostname -P PORT, --port=PORT UVC Port -K APIKEY, --apikey=APIKEY UVC API Key -v, --verbose -d, --dump -u UUID, --uuid=UUID Camera UUID --name=NAME Camera name -l, --list --recordmode=RECORDMODE Recording mode (none,full,motion) --recordchannel=RECORDCHANNEL Recording channel (high,medium,low) -p, --get-picture-settings Return picture settings as a string --set-picture-settings=SET_PICTURE_SETTINGS Set picture settings with a string like that returned from --get-picture-settings --set-led=ENABLED Enable/Disable front LED (on,off) --get-snapshot Get a snapshot image and write to stdout --prune-zones Prune all but the first motion zone --list-zones List motion zones --set-password Store camera password

For example::

$ export UVC="http://192.168.1.1:7080/?apiKey=XXXXXXXX" $ uvc --name Porch --recordmode motion --recordchannel high

or::

$ export UVC="http://192.168.1.1:7080/?apiKey=XXXXXXXX" $ uvc -l fb9e6d48-6f5a-42b2-8cb4-e3705a99a0e2: Inside [ online] f0579c60-e400-477e-8f89-f8861ef58f80: Parking [ online] 998b134e-13ea-4465-ad39-6ad27b067ac4: Spare [ offline] 5474242a-51d5-428e-97de-826675068e70: Front Porch [ online] 715f0725-e7e1-4214-a551-41071c82bacd: Garage [ online]

In order to take actions on cameras directly (such as change the LED state on a UVC Micro or get a snapshot from the camera) you need to set the admin password for it. The NVR tells us the username, but we must store the password. To do this::

$ uvc --name Porch --set-password This will store the administrator password for a camera for later use. It will be stored on disk obscured, but NOT ENCRYPTED! If this is not okay, cancel now.

Password: Confirm: Password set

Then you can do things like get a snapshot from the camera directly::

$ uvc --name Porch --get-snapshot > foo.jpg
