We've been asked frequently about the interaction of INSTAR cameras with the Loxone Miniserver, and have taken a look at it now:
English Guide
German Guide
UPDATE: tl;dr
Contents of the manual
- Homeautomation Miniserver
- Integrating the alarm output relay of the camera
- Integrating the alarm input of the camera
- Use the Loxone Miniserver as alarm server
All HD and Full HD camera models from INSTAR can now be listed as compatible:
IN-5905 HD
IN-5907 HD
IN-6001 HD
IN-6012 HD
IN-6014 HD
IN-7011 HD
IN-8003 Full HD
IN-8015 Full HD
IN-9008 Full HD
IN-9010 Full HD
IN-9020 Full HD
There are only a few differences in the API for these models - so only the Full HD models have a CGI command that can trigger an alarm on the camera from the Loxone software (/param.cgi?cmd=pushhostalarm) and with the IN-6014 HD and IN-9020 Full HD models, the PIR sensor is switched over the alarm input (/param.cgi?cmd=setioattr&-io_enable=1) while with the IN-8015 Full HD and IN-9008 Full HD both - the alarm input and the PIR sensor - are present and the sensor thus has its own CGI command (/param.cgi?cmd=setpirattr&-pir_enable=1) (Further information can be found in the documentation https://wiki.instar.com/Advanced_User/CGI_Commands/).
Otherwise, the instructions for all the camera models mentioned above are identical (in the WiFi and PoE version):
Suggestions / additions and corrections to the instructions will be appreciated.
