Can Xlobby control my security system?

Can Xlobby control my security system?

Postby jlcrawford on Thu May 26, 2005 7:35 pm

I have installed a pc based security camera system which has its own software ( obviously) and works well. I am hoping to set it all up in a new house I am building at the mo with Xlobby as the central control for audio distribution ,tv X10 lighting and also hopefully monitoring the home with the camera system especially accross the web server when away on hols etc.
Is there a pluggin or is there one planned - I amsure it would be a great addition as the camera system was fairly cheap.If not I will have to learn how to set up the provided software as a web server.
Cheers

there is a plugin for homeseer, so, if your system works with homeseer, it works for xlobby.

there is a xap compability too

I have downloaded the homeseer evaluation software and whilst I got it to control an X10 lamp module I can see no way for it to see my security system and video capture card. Anyone any info on how to do this in homeseer.The capyure card simply shows on control panel as TE video capture card.
I may be well out of my league with homeseer and probably also with xAP.
