More Foscam

As I started looking into the commands to control the Foscam, I found that the SDK was released by the Foscam company. It was easy to go through it and whip up a quick script to control most of the camera functions, and I added some functions that weren't documented as well thanks to finding them in various forums. This particular one is for use on Android phones, just change "/system/bin/sh" to "/bin/sh" to run on Linux. It doesn't cover everything, just the functions I wanted to test, but it covers most of them.
