Description

Requesting that a QR code decoding option be added.

My use case is for scanning QR codes that my dogs wear on their collars (to uniquely identify them). MotionEye detects the movement and captures images of the dog's QR code. Each QR code is effectively an API call so when they get close to the dog door or automatic feeder, it can activate if appropriate. In order to decode the QR codes, I currently need to read each captured image over the network (after it's saved) and use another program to check for the QR and decode it; this adds a lot of overhead since I wouldn't even need to save the image if motioneye (and subsequently motioneyeos) could make the API call directly.

This could be useful for many IoT/automation applications... basically anything that can be executed via an API call. If well implemented, this could also enable motioneye to be used as a point-of-sale device for reading QR codes.
