Using a Raspberry Pi to change camera status
Hey all, just a thought but has anyone considered using a Raspberry Pi to change the camera status to active/passive? There are many times that I would like to change the status my cameras but don't want to go downstairs to log into the server, get out my computer to log into the web service or ios app.
So, my thought was to have a Raspberry Pi that I can just press a button and change the cameras status. Something super simple to supplement my normal camera schedule. If you wanted to take it one step further the Raspberry Pi could also indicate the current status of the cameras with a colored led.
Just a thought, but this could also be done with an Apple Watch complication, if someone was to create one

This is an interesting idea, and can be done by some simple HTTP requests from the Pi to SecuritySpy's web interface. Have a look at the "Active/Passive mode control" section on the SecuritySpy Web Server Specification document for further information.
