#starts recording
bin.emit("user-start")

# wait some time

# stops recording
bin.emit("user-stop")
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_PAUSED)
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_NULL)
any way to make a shortcut for this (using shorcut maker)?

I havn't seen anything done with the N900 yet to this regard. Let me know if I am wrong.
I am interested in setting up my N900 as a professional anti-theft device. i.e. N900 has camera and mic. Can someone think if its possible to use the camera and some motion detection software to snap photos. i.e. motion/sound activated recording. Thank you.

search the forums- someone packaged the linux program "motion". Will do the detection and can trigger events. See also the program "phonestream".

I can highly reccomend motion. I have some experience with it. My suspicion is that it should not be too difficult to port.

1. Download files from attachments.
2. Remove .txt from both files
3. Put "pycam" in /usr/bin
4. Type in xterm as root: "chmod +x /usr/bin/pycam"
5. Put "pycam.desktop" in usr/share/applications/hildon
6. If you want an icon, rename the icon to "pycam" and put it in "/usr/share/icons/[your icon packs]/64x64/apps" and apply with Theme Customizer.
7. Try your new app. Press enter to stop recording. File saved in MyDocs/.videos.

It's basically nicolai's code with the naming part taken from here.
