There is no documentation of the RockWork code. Also, the D-Bus
interface is merely an implementation-detail of the app, not intended to
be used by the users. Anyhow, it does not support taking pictures from
remote, so it's probably not of interest for you anyways.

Thinking about how to help you: I don't think there is any way to
trigger the camera via a shell script or something. The easiest thing
for me personally would be to create a small program for this. The
camera code for QML would be quite straight forward, some 10 - 15 lines
at max, mostly to be copy/pasted from the documentation. That app could
automatically start recording when launched so you could launch it from
remote via ssh or so. I know, not as easy as you'd hoped for, but if you
already know the way through the platform and maybe have had success
with a simple QML app already, it should be doable.


Good luck,
Michael
