        "password": "password",
        "host": "192.168.1.10",
        "port": 88,
        "stay": 13,

*stay, away, night define configuration for different ARMED state. **reference homebridge-camera-ffmpeg for configuration instructions.

The supported configurations depend on your device. The Foscam public CGI defines the following: bit 3 | bit 2 | bit 1 | bit 0 bit 0 = Ring bit 1 = Send email bit 2 = Snap picture bit 3 = Record

The following seems to be valid for the C2 as well (not found in any documentation) bit 7 | bit 6 | bit 5 | bit 4 | bit 3 | bit 2 | bit 1 | bit 0 bit 0 = Ring bit 1 = Send email bit 2 = Snap picture bit 3 = Record bit 7 = Push notification

Note: The configuration is defined as int, thus the followings are valid, e.g. 0 (Do Nothing), 1 (Ring), 2 (Email), 3 (Ring + Email), 4 (Picture), 12 (Picture and Record), 13 (Ring, Picture and Record), etc.

P.S.: Any ARMED state will activate motion detection by default.
