So, I builded a system to activare/deactivate zm, based on iButton.
When the iButton is present and recognized as allowed, I power on|off the power-over-ethernet cams, and also start|stop the zm.
This is done with 2 bash scripts: one is for poe, one is for zm (as described in post "HTTP post commands for ZM").
A third script calls in correct sequences the others:
- "activate.sh" will call "poe.sh on; sleep 1; zm.sh on"
- "deactivate.sh" will call "zm.sh; sleep 1; poe.sh off"
Note the order: obviously, first disable zm, and only after that power off the cams.
The problem is that sometimes, disabling the system in such way, I get a "signal lost" alarm from one cam.
I'd like to solve without increase the total timing of operation: sometimes I need to activate/disable it in short sequence (I'm going out, it's late, and... I let my smartphone in the bathroom!!!: on, off, on... very quickly!
)Any suggestion is appreciated
