Hi,  
I’ve connected a Foscam camera to Homey. In the device I do see live images of the camera, so the connection works fine. The camera is connected by a cable.  
I made a flow to put on the light near the front door when a movement is detected.  
However, a movement is never detected. How can I resolve this?

How did you connect the cam to Homey?

Maybe an old problem with Foscam?

I added it by adding a new device. I don’t recall the details, did it in autumn. Could it make a difference? Are there different ways to add it?  
I have considered to remove it and install it again. But what should I then pay attention to?

or maybe you ment how they are connected. They’re connected by cable, not wireless.

What model Foscam are you suing.

My R2 does the same, no movement is detected when using Homey.
