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.
