Following

Comming soon... It will be added once the end point is added.

Known bugs/glitches

• Currently the 'GET /cameras/test.json', requires username & password, random ones are chosen if not explicitly set in the function call
• evercam.snapshots.store() is tested, but not fully, this is due to Nock not liking binary data, see "Future plans" section for more

Future plans

• Set up tests so that they can be run on the development server instead of mocking them
