    Cool feature request?

    I was thinking about how Skype video calling is now on the iPhone, if Idratek was able to interface to a front door entrance cam, and when it's pressed, it (attempts to) nail up a Skype video call?

    Or is this completely barmy?

    I don't think it is barmy.

    My canonical use case would be to tell delivery men to try next door when I am not in.

    Otherwise I either hope to be in for visitors, or don't want to tell them that I am out...

      No we didn't think it barmy either so looked into it. We established that it was possible to enable the video although there are some complications like the camera can't be used by two applications at the same time (at least not easily), but are also considering how the control should be effected. As usual nothing is ever as straightforward as it initially seems...
