Hello Homey Forum, we have uploaded a guide for the use of INSTAR HD / Full HD IP cameras together with the Homey Gateway. Our primary goal was to create a bridge between wireless (Z-Wave, Zigbee) sensors and actuators and our IP cameras and to automate camera functions through the gateway. A short overview of how an integration can look like can be 👉 [found here](https://wiki.instar.com/Software/Home_Automation/Athom_Homey/?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Homey). The full article deals with the following points: - Adding your Cameras Snapshot to the Homey UI - Control your Camera manually - Notifying Homey when the Camera Alarm is triggered (Alarm Server) - Using Zigbee/Z-Wave Sensors to control your Camera - Time scheduled Camera control - Day&Night Schedule - Manual Schedule With these prototypes, all functions of the INSTAR IP camera can be automated / timed / coupled to Homey-supported wireless Z-Wave and Zigbee sensors and actuators using the [control commands available for the camera model](https://wiki.instar.com/Advanced_User/CGI_Commands/?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Homey). You can list all HD and Full HD camera models from INSTAR as compatible: • IN-5905 HD • IN-5907 HD • IN-6001 HD • IN-6012 HD • IN-6014 HD • IN-7011 HD • IN-8001 Full HD • IN-8003 Full HD • IN-8015 Full HD • IN-9008 Full HD • IN-9010 Full HD • IN-9020 Full HD There are only small differences in the API for these models - e.g. in the models IN-6014 HD and IN-9020 Full HD the PIR sensor is switched via the alarm input (_/param.cgi?cmd=setioattr&-io\_enable=1_) while the IN-8015 Full HD and IN-9008 Full HD have both - the alarm input and the PIR sensor - so the sensor has its own CGI command (_/param.cgi?cmd=setpirattr&-pir\_enable=1_) ([see documentation for more information](https://wiki.instar.com/Advanced_User/CGI_Commands/?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Homey)). Otherwise the tutorial is identical for all above mentioned camera models (WLAN and PoE version): [Anleitung in Deutsch](https://wiki.instar.de/Software/Andere_Plattform/Athom_Homey/?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Homey) 🇩🇪 [Tutorial in English](https://wiki.instar.com/Software/Other_Platforms/Athom_Homey/?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Homey) 🇬🇧 Suggestions / additions and corrections to the instructions are of course welcome.

We received a support request about using HTTPS ([instead of HTTP](https://wiki.instar.com/Software/Other_Platforms/Athom_Homey/#notifying-homey-when-the-camera-alarm-is-triggered-alarm-server)) to contact the Homey gateway. We are planning to release an Firmware update this week that will add HTTPS support for the Alarmserver: > **[Alarm Menu // Alarm Server](https://wiki.instar.com/Web_User_Interface/1080p_Series/Alarm/Alarm_Server/)** > > Notify your Home Automation System in case of a Motion Detection ---

On all Full HD camera models with the current firmware you can now set the alarm server interval via CGI command. The default value is 60s: _/param.cgi?cmd=setmdalarm&-aname=server2&-switch=on&-interval=60_ A reduction down to one second is possible - but we recommend to leave it at least 10-15s (if not needed otherwise on the smarthome side). For example, to set the interval between alarm triggers for a camera with the IP **192.168.178.102** and the HTTP port **80** to **15s** use: _http:// 192.168.178.102:80/param.cgi?cmd=setmdalarm&-aname=server2&-switch=on&-interval=15_ The alarm server is used to inform Homey when motion is detected by your camera. ---

Closing as this is a duplicate to the post you made in the german forums. ---
