Tasker Android App - Nightvision Scene



Create a tasker scene to switch the IR LEDs

In the following we will create a Tasker Scene - a user interface that can combine a large number of buttons to control your camera - and provide buttons for switching the night vision of your camera. By the same principle, you can address almost all camera functions - both for our HD cameras, as well as the VGA models.

In the previous steps, we programmed a scene with two buttons - a Turn On and a Turn Off the IR LEDs on your INSTAR HD IP camera. Now we need a way to access this interface. In the following will put a Tasker shortcut on our home screen, which loads the scene in an overlay.
