Camera

The app “Camera” lets you integrate your evonCAM into your system.

The Camera app is located under “all apps” – “Camera”.

Create

In order to create a camera, click on the box “add new evonCAM” inside the app.

All found evonCams including a preview image will now be listed in the popup which appears. Once your camera shows up on this list you can select it and it will be added to your system and is ready to be used.

If your camera ist not immediately found in your network, you have the option to restart the search or to configure it yourself. In this case a camera will be added for which you have to add the required settings (IP address, username, password).

Configuration

To correctly configure the camera, enter the IP address of the camera into your browser.

If you followed the steps to integrate your evonCAM and the camera was found and added to your system, no further configuration is required.

In case you chose the manual configuration (e.g. because the camera was not automatically found in your network), you can change or adapt the required settings at any time in the ParameterPanel of the camera.

This can also be necessary, when you make changes to the standard username/password or the IP address.

If you change the settings (username/password) of the camera (via its webinterface) the app or browser may ask you to enter the new credentials.

After you did this, it is important to go to the ParameterPanel of the camera and update those settings there, otherwise you will regularly be asked to enter the new credentials.

You can also change the IP of your camera to a specific static address. Changing settings here will write the new network configuration to the camera which will then restart with the new settings applied.

If you change the IP address, other required network settings (gateway and subnetmask) will automatically be taken from the current evon Smart Home controller network configuration. If you want more control over this settings there is also an extended form available under the additional parameter button.

Operation

The camera panel supports two different sizes. If you hold down your finger (cursor+left mouse button) on the panel for some seconds a bar will appear on the bottom of your screen, which gives you the ability to change the size from small to large.

The large size supports displaying the current camera video inside the panel. Like most other panels, you can add this to your favorites on the start screen which will allow you to always see the current camera image.

With the icon located on the top right corner of the camera image, you can open a popup with bigger view of the video stream, which is well suited for bigger screen sizes like tablets.

The camera OperatorPanel displays the current video/image if the correct credentials are added in the settings. You can also open a popup containing a bigger sized version of the camera image by clicking the icon in the top right corner of the image.

If you did not enter a name for the camera yet, the associated input field will also appear here.
