Please, is there any way how to find out if camera is recording or not? I have checked StatusDemo but that’s not what I want. I don’t want to subscribe to any event. I have camera FQID and all I need is to find out if camera is recording.

Thanks.

I think the most popular setup is to record on motion (or event), maybe it is therefore the samples focus on communicating a changing state never on reading a state that might be changed in the next fraction of a second.

The Status protocol has a GetCurrentDeviceStatus, I guess that is the one that might give you the response you seek. (I have not tested this myself.)
