HTTP Config

HTTP

Here the HTTP server can be activated to trigger or reset a movement by a simple call of a link.

If the HTTP server is activated, a movement can be triggered by e.g. the following link:

(Assuming the camera is simply called "My Camera" in the config)

http://IP:HTTPPORT/motion?My%20Camera

Or if you want to trigger a doorbell

http://IP:HTTPPORT/doorbell?My%20Camera

And reset via

http://IP:HTTPPORT/motion/reset?My%20Camera

Note: Any spaces in the name must be replaced with %20

Example:

"http": {
  "active": false,
  "port": 7777,
  "localhttp": false
}
