stop camera standby?
 
hey, like the title says, i would like to turn off the auto camera standby mode.... im going to be going on holidays and i have a slingbox and i wanted to plug the n900 into the slingpox with tv out cables and use it as a security camera so i can watch whats going on, but the camera automatically goes into standby after a few seconds.... any ways of disabling that? please

This would be very cool to do.

This would enable many extra usages.

There is no way to disable this.
But there are more ways in using the camera.
A little python script:

import gst
bin = gst.element_factory_make("camerabin")
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)


With tv out, this even works while the touchscreen is locked.

that would be a great feature !
But i still can't buy in the thought that you want to keep your N900 @ home while you go on holidays !!
