I want to switch camera recording without using the smartphone application. Is it possible to control on / off of camera recording via telnet/ssh using this hack?

I think I’ve found how to do this. Going to test today, but it’ll involve a couple of shell scripts (from a pi for me).

I’ll then have an api for Google (via IFTTT) that’ll just run the shell script (camera on or camera off) for each of my camera

Looking at the processes on the camera - the easiest way to disable the camera and re-enable the camera is as follows. The follow commands are done via ssh or telnet - they can be configured in a bash script and run remotely. Ideally I want this configured with flask, however, there appears to be a limitation to this. If I run the shell script interactively it works just fine, but with Flask it doesn't appear to run properly.

Disable: 1) killall watch_process 2) killall p2p_tnp

Enable: 1) /home/app/watch_process &

This process will ensure all the correct processes are running and gracefully bring back the system into a good state.
