Bit of a programming project here... I'm wondering if anyone can think of a method to:
turn off motion detection on certain cameras on a locked windows PC running BI service, using a single button or keystroke.
My BI pc doesn't have it's own monitor, but does have a keyboard, and I'd like to be able to change these settings on the fly very quickly (<2 seconds). I know this requirement is a bit over the top, but I'd like to try / learn what I can do, even if it's a bit ridiculous (when compared to hooking up a spare monitor and logging in like everyone else or disabling the login)
I think I can write a script to listen for a keystroke while the computer is locked (i think some media keys even work when locked)...
-But can BI (run as a service, minimized) still action keyboard shortcuts (or other triggers) from such a script?
-Can BI action from shortcut keys when minimized or locked? I know some (user type) script actions may not be possible on the locked computer due to how windows lock screen works.
So just wondering if anyone has a good idea to try, or examples of using BI actions without using a mouse/monitor, and then ideally while the pc is locked. note, PC is not currently connected to the home wifi, but I realize that could be another way to access and trigger.
Thanks
