schedule / active time for recordings - control via api/mqtt/http #620

Hi!

is it possible to configure times when recordings should be active? For example tigger recording only at night-time.

Personally it would be enough if i can switch some "recoding-active" value like sensor.camera_1_operation_state via http/mqtt or similar. By the way would such a api for example enable me to use my cameras internal motion detection to trigger recordings.

Nice Greets!

This can sort of be accomplished by using the MQTT Toggle Topic to turn the camera on/off.

The downside of this is that Viseron will stop reading from the camera completely, meaning everything else also stops running (object detection, face recognition, MJPEG streams etc) I have plans to make it possible to pause recordings, but i need to do an overhaul of the API first so it might take me some time

Thank you very much. I dont why i have overseen the mqtt-component :)
