Hey @matzeeg3
How does the code look like, with which you where able to enable/disable?
I don’t find the webservice-function to do it.

so first of all you start with this:

http://ipofnetcam:8124/Json/GetCameras?authToken=yourtoken

copy all informations from the output to an textfile for later use.
then you can use this url:

http(s)://ipofnetcam:8124/Json/StartStopVideoSource?sourceId=(IDfromJsonbefore)&enabled=(true/or/false)&authtoken=(yourauthtoken)

i have running openhab witch detects the presense state of my familie by checking the wifi status via unifi and then i run a rule if some one leave or ener the house.
have fun with that informations.

Thanks, matze
That works great!
(needed two attempts though because I took “SourceUID” instead of “Id”. the latter is the very first Number that is returned an in my case just a 0)
