FOSCAMR2C presetGoto and presetSet interpolated the preset into
"SELECT Label FROM ControlPresets WHERE Preset = $preset" and sent the selected
Label to the camera as name=. For presetGoto the preset came straight from the
web request, so any user who could see the monitor could run a SELECT against
the ZoneMinder database and have the value (the auth hash secret, password
hashes) delivered to the camera link, or use it as a boolean oracle.
- FOSCAMR2C: bind the preset in every statement, refuse a preset that is not a
number, and look ControlPresets up by MonitorId as Dahua and PSIA do.
- buildControlCommand(): refuse a non-numeric presetGoto preset, and a control
name that is not a plain method name. zmcontrol calls the name as a method and
the options are split back out of the command string on spaces.
- zmcontrol.pl: refuse a command that is not a plain method name, so a qualified
Package::sub name can't call a sub outside the control module.
- canView()/canEdit() with a monitor id returned only the monitor check and
ignored the area, so canView('Control', $mid) passed for anyone who could see
the monitor. Require the area permission as well; Monitors stays decided by
visibleMonitor()/editableMonitor().
tests/php/test_control_command.php covers buildControlCommand() and the
monitor-scoped canView()/canEdit(); tests/perl/test_foscamr2c_preset_sql.pl
checks the statements FOSCAMR2C prepares and what it sends to the camera.

zmcontrol sent keepAlive only from the branch that runs when select() times
out. A monitor taking a steady stream of commands never reaches that branch,
so it never pinged at all, and cameras that expire a session on a timer
refresh it on the keepAlive rather than on ordinary requests. The monitors
with the most traffic were therefore the ones that lost their session.
Measured on monitor 1: it pinged twice while idle, then took a command every
three seconds for three minutes and the camera rejected the next one 181
seconds after the last ping. Its light commands were being dropped for as long
as the motion kept coming, which is exactly when they matter.
Move the decision into Control::keepAliveDue, timed from the last ping, and
check it at the top of the loop so the 'next' paths in the command handling
cannot skip it. A clock step backwards resets the baseline rather than holding
the ping off until real time catches up.

The scripts run under -T, so they cannot trust the caller's PATH and set
their own. Sixteen of them hardcoded /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin, which
assumes everything they shell out to lives under /usr or /usr/local.
ZoneMinder::General::findDbCommand looks for a database client on that
PATH, and zmupdate.pl and zmcamtool.pl run what it finds. So an install
whose client sits anywhere else cannot apply schema changes:
sh: mysql: command not found
Command 'mysql -u'zmuser' ... ' exited with status: 127
even with the client on the caller's PATH. Homebrew on Apple Silicon is
the case that surfaced it - the client is in /opt/homebrew/bin - but a
--prefix=/opt install on Linux has the same shape, as does anything that
keeps its database client outside the FHS locations.
Replaced the literal with @ZM_SCRIPT_PATH@, defaulting to the same three
directories plus wherever cmake actually found a client, and overridable
for packagers who want to pin it. Warn at configure time when no client
is found at all, since that failure otherwise appears much later and
says something unrelated.
Nothing changes for an install whose client is already under /usr/bin:
the directory is only appended when it is not in the list, so the
default stays exactly as it was.
Memory.pm is deliberately left alone. It has a narrower PATH of
/bin:/usr/bin, and the only command it runs is uname through an absolute
path from ZM_PATH_UNAME, so it does not need widening.
Verified on macOS across the three cases: with the client in
/opt/homebrew/bin the directory is appended; -DZM_SCRIPT_PATH= is
respected verbatim; and pointing detection at /usr/bin/mariadb leaves
the default untouched. Build clean, suite 146 cases.

A camera that detects motion should be able to sound a speaker, and the
speaker is rarely the camera: it is a separate device with its own address,
credentials, stream and Controls entry. Model it as a monitor and let a
monitor's alarm drive actions on other monitors.
Add Monitors.DeviceClass enum('Camera','Speaker'). This is what the device
is, as distinct from Type, which selects the capture backend - an IP speaker
still captures over Ffmpeg like any other RTSP device, so Type could not
carry the distinction.
Add the MonitorActions table: MonitorId is the monitor that triggers,
TargetMonitorId the device acted on, and the two are frequently different.
TriggerOn covers EventStart, EventEnd, Alarm and Manual.
Which actions a device is offered is decided by its Controls row - CanLight,
CanIndicatorLight, CanAudioPlay - so a device can only be asked to do what it
has been measured to do. The editor filters on this and the save path
re-checks it, because the request is not to be trusted.
Execution goes straight to the target's zmcontrol socket rather than forking
zmcontrol.pl per action: the daemon already accepts a line of JSON there, and
it is the same path the control panel uses. ActionCommandName maps the DB
enum onto a method name as a whitelist, so nothing out of the database
reaches the control daemon uninspected. Actions are fire-and-forget - a
speaker that is offline is logged and skipped, never allowed to hold up event
handling.
Alarm actions fire only on the genuine entry into alarm, not on the
ALERT->ALARM re-entry, which would re-sound a speaker within one incident.
EventEnd runs on the calling thread before the event is handed to the closing
thread, which does not capture `this`.
Manual actions appear as buttons on the watch page, and are the reason the
control panel is now shown for a monitor that has actions but no control of
its own. Firing one sends only the action id; the command and target are
rebuilt server side, and Control rights are required on the target device and
not merely on the monitor the action hangs off.
Also add --file to zmcontrol.pl, without which audioPlay could not be driven
from the command line. The web path was unaffected as it bypasses GetOptions.
Tests: tests/zm_monitor_action.cpp covers the command whitelist, the message
format (including that file id 0 is a real id and that a stale AudioFile is
never passed to a command that takes none), trigger names, and that every
value of the ActionType enum maps to a command.

(cherry picked from commit b561341e988af69c3a46db854da410309f7cfa82)
Add a CanIndicatorLight capability and status-aware Indicator toggle button. The indicator LED on the ASH21-B, ADC2W and ASH42-B is controlled via the LightGlobal config (configManager get/setConfig); add indicatorLightOn/Off/Status to Dahua_RPC and a model-specific 'Amcrest ASH42-B RPC' Controls row, with the capability also enabled on the ASH21-B/ADC2W/generic rows. Migration zm_update-1.39.13.sql adds the column.
Add Dahua_RPC keepAlive (global.keepAlive) wired into a 30s zmcontrol idle tick, plus session-expiry re-login retry in set_config and the status queries, so the long-running control daemon does not silently fail after the ~60s session timeout.

Add a CanLight control capability rendering a single status-aware Light toggle button. The ADC2W white light is driven via CoaxialControlIO.control (Type 1, numeric IO); the button queries live state and reflects it (amber when on).
To get device state to the browser, add an opt-in two-way response path to the control protocol: zmcontrol writes a JSON result back only when a request sets wants_response (fire-and-forget commands unchanged, SIGPIPE-safe); Monitor::sendControlCommandWithResponse and ajax/control.php return it.
Also adds get_config/set_config/probe to Dahua_RPC for characterising cameras, the CanLight column (migration zm_update-1.39.12.sql), edit-UI checkbox, and a config unit test.

Add --protocol, --address, and --device CLI options that bypass the
database and socket machinery to load a control module directly and
execute a single command. This enables standalone testing of control
modules (e.g. ONVIF.pm get_config) without a running ZoneMinder
instance. Also update POD with full documentation and examples.

Looks like "zmcontrol.pl" was based upon "zmfilter.pl" so it inherited
commented description of the latter.
Therefore "zmcontrol.pl" needs a description...
Then I move the module load call up before the fork so that any errors will be visible and will make zmcontrol.pl die quickly instead of waiting 11 seconds for something that will never happen.
