http request to activate/unactivate recording (motion detection)

[fredblabla]

Hello,

I'd like to know if it is possible to communicate by "web-services" at least http requests,
For example
- to request to the camera to start record events in case of motion detection. I would send a request like http://mycam/detection?activation=true to the camera when I turn ON my alarm system
- when I turn off my alarm system, I'd like to stop recording (I do not need to record myself) http://mycam/detection?activation=false.
Then I would record on my NAS only when the alarm system is ON. I will use home automation to send the requests (easy part).

So I need to know if hikvision camera are supporting this?
And I need to know how?

Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Fred

Hikvision publish their Device Management Protocol and CGI protocol - might be what you are looking for, or may be a bit difficult to implement.
