HTTP access to camera status? Or an alert action when camera status changes?

[logbuilder]

I just migrated to BI5 from BI4. My BI system is integrated with HomeSeer for home automation and security. All of the interfacing is via http calls. The one area where I am a bit blind is camera status. I can set the camera status (enabled/disabled) via http just fine. But.. I don't know of any way to query the current status of the camera. Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to alert via http from within BI when the camera status changes. I never found such functionality in BI4. Does it exist in BI5?

Thanks,
Robert

What type of status are you wanting to know about?
Would each cameras Watchdog help in that regard?

Mainly only the enabled status

I can use the following http command to disable (enable=0) or enable (enable=1) the camera.
http://192.168.0.18:8081admin?camera=cam_2&enable=0&user=xxxxxx&pw=yyyyyy

I just want to be able to query that status, by camera.
