Hardware trigger for bookmarks
Answered
IP I/O is great an all but expensive and complicated.
Soft triggers are awesome but not everyone has a guard in front of the computer.
I'm sure you guys develop with raspberrypi, this seems like a simple way to interact with the API
One usecase is at my local deli. As you can imagine they have a lot of problems with shop lifting. The guy there has an awesome memory because he can recall events and the time almost to the minute and I help him out looking through the DVR sometimes. But software is better. Something like a "panic" button that could be mounted under the counter that could trigger a bookmark at that time (or length of time based on how many times button was pressed) so that anyone else like the owner could quickly review the footage later on or remotely.
I have a raspberry pi zero, some buttons, and a 3D printer. I was thinking to make a python script that would send out that API request. However I'm not much of a developer. Was wondering if you guys played around with the idea for some rapid custom I/O based on the raspberry pi.
Thank you

I stumbled upon this old topic and how much I like the idea and use of the RPI in general it isn't something we will develop since it is a bit too much outside our scope.
If you are looking for an affordable hardware based I/O, you should DuckDuckGo for Ethernet Relays. It has been a few years since I used them, but I remember plenty were capable of sending an HTTP event when a wired input was triggered or were able to trigger a wired output when they receive an HTTP event. Both can be done with Nx Witness.

Thank you for submitting the request.
I'll let our Devs know about it.
