Hi All,

I have a few ZM's in production, but have never looked into how to change the
mode of a camera/monitor in ZM via cronab...

i.e. I have a camera in 'Record' mode but this just eats up my HDD space, so
I would like the cam to run in 'Record' mode during say 0900-1700 and the switch to 'modect' during the 1700-0900 hours.

The easiest way to do this i guess would be via a crontab, but what would the command be that i need to change the cam from one mode to the other from the CLI ?

Thank You all for any comments/suggestions.

If I can get it working I might even make a web GUI change and add it as a patch to the ZM Code.
