ZoneMin...FI8908W(3)

💖 ZoneMinder::Control::FI8908W 💖

ok so real talk, this is a section 3 perl manual page — User Contributed Perl Documentation, bestie, which means somebody in the community wrote this and we all get to benefit, we love that for us 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ZoneMinder::Control::FI8908W — literally the Foscam FI8908W camera control module, no cap 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: this module contains the implementation of the Foscam FI8908W / FI8918W IP camera control protocol. both of those models, yes, the FI8908W and the FI8918W, she does both 💅

Here's the important part, so listen up 👑 — the module uses the "Control Device" value to retrieve the user and password. That's the vibe check of this whole thing.

The user and password should be separated by a colon, like this:

user:password

That's it, that's the whole format, imagine 🦋

But wait — what if you forget the colon? No stress, bestie, there's a fallback. If a colon is not provided, then "admin" is used as the fallback value for the user. Iconic behaviour, honestly. Lowkey generous of it 🙈

ngl, this is the entire module description — short, sweet, and it ate. Don't come for me, I just report the facts ✨

and that's the whole page!! 🧚 this little gem is perl v5.42.3 and it's dated 1980-01-01 (yes, that date, don't ask 😭), contributed by the perl-people themselves — mwah, love you, bye 💜 🍓
