Default Yawcam

I am posting the proper Module entries to allow mControl to work with Yawcam (Yet Another Webcam). Since there are a lot of USB cameras laying around my house, I thought it might be nice to use them instead of buying something with a webserver built in. Therefore, you can run an instance of yawcam for each server and obviously a long usb run properly powered for it to work.

Just edit drv_IPCAM.xml and add the following to the Modules section:

<module base="IPCAM_YAWCAM" class="IPCAMERA" use="Y">
<param name="DISPLAY-AS" value="YAWCAM IP CAMERA" />
<param name="Description" value="YAWCAM PC Server" locID="MDESC_IPCAM_YAWCAM" />
<param name="MProtocol" value="IPCAM" />
<param name="FieldsGrp" value="IPCAM" />
<param name="DefaultImage" value="Camera" />
<param name="UseActiveX" value="false" />
<param name="HasAudio" value="true" />
<param name="CanDetectMotion" value="true" />
<param name="CanPan" value="false" />
<param name="CanTilt" value="false" />
<param name="CanZoom" value="false" />
<param name="CanSendJPeg" value="true" />
<param name="CanSendMJPeg" value="true" />
<param name="RecordCompressed" value="true" />
<param name="PresetsCount" value="0" />
<param name="GetSnapshot" value="/out.jpg" />
<param name="StartRecording" value="/video.mjpg" />
<param name="StartStreaming" value="/video.mjpg" />
<param name="SnapExtension" value="jpg" />
<param name="RecordExtension" value="avi" />
<DriverSpecific>
<object-params>
</object-params>
</DriverSpecific>
</module>

Yawcam can be downloaded from http://www.yawcam.com/
