Could Buoy immediately activate separate hidden mini-video/audio recording devices? #19

When a Buoy alert is activated, could it automatically and wirelessly activate mini cameras that a "victim" has hidden in their home, in a vehicle, on their body, or in any other location where they feel they could be threatened?

That's a super clever idea and I love the notion of integrating with IOT devices for personal protection and community response. :)

If these cameras were connected to a Particle Photon (similar to an Arduino Nano with a built-in wifi chip), I think this could work. If This, Then That could do the work of sensing the alert and sending the message to the Photon. Both are open-source services, to my knowledge.

On our side, we need to build out Alert Notification adapters for this sort of thing.
