Access latest clip via HTTP request

I am integrating BI into my security system. My first step has been to have a security event trigger a push notification to the Pushover app on my iPhone.

The notification carries a payload of a short message and a URL. In my test case I have used http://XX.XXX.XX.XXX:7272/mjpg/drivewayNorth/video.mjpg?q=50 as the payload. This works fine for allowing me to tap on the iPhone notification and open a screen with the real-time video stream of the driveway.

What I want to be able to access is the most recent clip captured by BI for the selected camera.

I've looked for a solution for some time now without success. Is it possible to view the most recent clip via an HTTP request?

Thanks,
Ken

You can view live or clips via BI's ui3.htm browser interface. So... when you get an alert you can just log in and have full control. Bi's iOS app is more elegant, but does the same thing. Point I'm getting at is, with the remote access features in BI, you can accomplish the same goal. Alert actions and notifications are pretty robust. But if you must use Pushover, have your push notification just alert you of an event and include the url to your server (ui3.htm)
