Notes on system itself
The service contol will have the following components:
    PHP site that will make the API calls
        I don't have time to learn something new
        It will be similar to the photo refresh site
        Flow will be get status API, draw box depending on result, if pressed execute appropriate API, return
        The API calls are to a another service running a Python script
        I think I will have the following text in Green (Red):
          - THE SERVICE IS (NOT) RUNNING
        The button will be Red (Green):
          - Stop (Start)
        I'll rip off gali for the style

Notes on the python service script:
    There will be the cheap API, with a start, stop, and status
    Start will initialize another service
    There will be a variable to store the time of the last start/stop API call and limit calls for 5 seconds after this time
    No such limit will exist on the status API

Some Timelapse and snapshot Notes
I think I will have two services, and the snapshot recording service will be a subservice of the timelapse service
The timelapse service will start the snapshot 

=== Old Timelapse Code ===

## Script to create timelapse

# Set TODAY variable
TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)

# Create folder for today's photos
mkdir /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY

# How long between photos
PERIOD=1

# How long to record for
LENGTH=900

# Calculate number of photos to take
ITERATIONS=$((LENGTH / PERIOD))

# Begin capture loop
i=1
while [ $i -le $ITERATIONS ]
do

  # This variable is for the filename
  NOW=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
  # This variable is for the timestamp
  TIME=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)
  # Download current capture
  curl http://10.55.10.1:6288/snapshot --output /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/$NOW.jpg
  # This should add the current time to the image and save it
  convert /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/$NOW.jpg -gravity NorthWest -pointsize 22 \
  -fill yellow -annotate +30+30 $TIME /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/$NOW-ts.jpg
  # Delete original
  rm /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/$NOW.jpg
  # And now we wait
  sleep $PERIOD
  # Increment the counter and start over duh
  ((i++))
# For more obvious commentary, the loop is now over
done

# Generate the timelapse now
ffmpeg -r 24 -pattern_type glob -i "/var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/*.jpg" \
-vf "scale=1280x720" -vcodec libx264 /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/$TODAY.mp4

# If we want to start deleting original images, uncomment this
#rm /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/*.jpg

# Slap a copy of this somewhere convenient for me to grab it
cp /var/opt/mattstream/$TODAY/$TODAY.mp4 /media/pleiades/matt-lapse/$TODAY.mp4
