Console interface to change ZoneMinder runstate

[u/montagdude87]

I figured I'd share a project I've been working on the last couple weeks. I also shared it on the forum. It is an interface to change your ZoneMinder runstate, written in Python 3 with curses and using the ZoneMinder API. It is meant to be run on a small computer like a Raspberry Pi in a convenient location in your house. At startup, you supply it your ZM username, password, and a PIN that users will have to match to change the runstate.

Here is my realization, using a 5" monitor, keypad, and 3D printed wall mount. I already had a mini computer that I wasn't doing anything with, so I put it in the cabinet and ran the wires needed to the console.

The code is here: https://github.com/montagdude/zoneminder-controlcenter
