I would like to enable/disable motion detection on my cams from a script. Any scripting examples are fine. Applescript, lua, ...

[discarn8]

This is not to control motion per se, but if you're like me - searching months for a way to control the brightness / contrast from a shell script, crontab, etc.,  so you can adjust it based on time of day - try this:

curl -u userid:password -d "&ReplySuccessPage=image.htm&ReplyErrorPage=errrimg.htm&BrightnessControl=60&ContrastControl=95&ConfigSystemStream=Save" http://your_camera_ip/setSystemStream  >/dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for this excellent pointer!

for motion this works for me
curl -u usercode:password -d "&ReplySuccessPage=setSystemMotion.htm&ReplyErrorPage=setSystemMotion.htm&MotionDetectionEnable=1&ConfigSystemMotion=Save" http://your.ip:port/setSystemMotion  >/dev/null 2>&1

With the new Rev A firmware version v1.15 B04 (2016-08), one must add a "--referer" for this to work, e.g.:

curl -u userid:password  http://your_camera_ip/setSystemStream --referer http://your_camera_ip/image.htm -d "ReplySuccessPage=image.htm&ReplyErrorPage=errrimg.htm&BrightnessControl=60&ContrastControl=95&ConfigSystemStream=Save"  >/dev/null 2>&1
