Features
With the application installed and a webcam connected to your Fonera 2.0, you will be able to trigger events when motion is detected. A built in functionality is for example to save the images captured by the webcam when motion occurs. Needless to say with a bit of scripting the possibilities are endless.
Installation
- Make sure that your Fonera 2.0 is in Developer Mode so you can install plugins from external sources.
- Remove the FON's webcam plugin if it is installed.
- Download & install the OpkgFix on the Fonera 2.0n (NOT for 2.0g)
- Download Motion4fon plugin (do not unzip the .tar.gz file)
- Install the plugin from the Applications menu clicking on 'upload file'

Allowing access to webcam from WAN (internet)
- make sure your ISP allows port 81-83/tcp
- Don't forget to forward the ports on your internet modem/router as well towards the wan-ip of your fonera
echo "iptables -A input_rule -p tcp --dport 81 -j zone_wan_ACCEPT" > /etc/firewall.motion echo "iptables -A input_rule -p tcp --dport 82 -j zone_wan_ACCEPT" >> /etc/firewall.motion echo "iptables -A input_rule -p tcp --dport 83 -j zone_wan_ACCEPT" >> /etc/firewall.motion uci add firewall include uci set firewall.@include[-1].path=/etc/firewall.motion uci commit firewall
