New sensor - Amcrest Cameras

Hello everyone,

Recently I bought an Amcrest camera and I’ve started developing a new sensor to HA to manage it. Currently, I’m able to enable/disable the motion sensor based on a device_tracker rule. I’m also developing now an interface to move the camera (PTZ) via HA.

I want to see how many people around use Amcrest cameras and would be interested this sensor? If so, what capabilities would you like to have/manager via HA?

Please vote and share what you think.

Thanks.
Marcelo

Aren’t these similar to Foscam?

@texnofobix They are similar, but the URL namespaces are different which makes some commands not to work, however the principal is the same.
