set_camera_recording_mode

set_camera_recording_mode

Set a camera’s recording mode (always, motion, or never).

Side effects:

• PATCHes recordingSettings.mode on the camera. Takes effect immediately; never halts new clip writes.
• Mutates controller state. Use dry_run=True to preview the change without applying.

Example

set_camera_recording_mode(camera_id="65f...", mode="motion")
