sjcam's Issues

Setup configuration fails (debian)

First hurdle encountered after initially running: sudo python ./setup.py install

output:

The following installation solved this issue:
sudo apt-get install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev

However, after the setup script is done setting up, I tried running some of the commands to test the API functionality but get the following errors:

I tried deactivating the virtual environment but still got the same error messages.

API Documentation

Hey, I'm working on API documentation and I have some commands that you haven't got yet, but I'm not too sure if those are specific to the 5000x elite or also for the 4000. Take a look :)

Feature Request: Change network settings

I'm not sure if someone tried to change network address so you can monitorize several camera streams with a single computer (without changing from one wifi to another).

I'd like to see this implemented.

License ?

Hi !

I need to control automatically my sjcam and i was really glad to find this repo.

As this script is made for python2 and is no longer maintained, i would like to know if you could switch it under a more permissive license, so i can fork it for use in my projects (I would understand if you don't want to though).

Camera Ultra Technology Bold3 black edition

Hey, how you doing?
A few days ago I bought a BOLD3 Black edition sports camera from Ultra Technology, similar to the jscam, both in firmware interface design and in the case.
I found your code because I have integration plans with arduino, and I'm using a nodeMcu, but I can't make the commands work.
On the other hand, the ip assigned to me is 192.168.25.101, and if I log in to 192.168.25.1, I can configure the camera's wifi.

Did you make any particular configuration? there's no documentation on my camera.

Thank you in advance, if I can get it to work on my camera, I can help you complete what you're missing from the list.

packaging for arch linux

Hi Adam,

Just FYI, I packaged your sjcam tool

https://github.com/AdamLaurie/sjcam

on AUR (Arch linux User Repositories)

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sjcam-git/

I couldn't find the license so I choose GPL (let me know if that's
wrong to change it) related with #5

Thanks for coding sjcam, is nice to operate a camera without get it
out of the case.

I use a sjcam M20 and works perfectly!

If I found time I would like to connect to camera without loose the
internet connection (but that's related with network manager). In any
case, if I found how to do it will open a PR on your repo.

Cheers,
Alberto
