Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
may be the software I am looking for already exists of |
| 4 |
can easily created by plugging together already existing pieces: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
With a Logitech c920 webcam (Full HD) I plan to record birds on |
| 7 |
my roof. |
| 8 |
I need to record "everything": Starting from the birds landing |
| 9 |
on the roof until the fligh away again. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Since the camera delivers Full HD video AND I need the "complete |
| 12 |
movie" of the bird motion detection is not suitable here: Decoding |
| 13 |
analyzing and reencoding in case of recording would take to much |
| 14 |
horsepower... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
But |
| 17 |
Normally I will recogize the birds after the landed on the roof. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
My idea is to do something like loop recoording: |
| 20 |
The stream is cut into pieces of 5 minutes length. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If I dont hit "ENTER" (or something similar) the previously recorded |
| 23 |
piece of video gets delted after the current one has been completly |
| 24 |
recorded. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If I hit ENTER no deletion is performed until I hit ENTER again. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I already have a script hacked together with a gst-launch command, |
| 29 |
which is able to fetch the Full HD hardware encoded stream from |
| 30 |
the C920 and put it on the harddisk. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
But I failed in creating a script which allows me to simultanously |
| 33 |
watch the material which gets recorded just in the same moment. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Is there any software or script or <fill in something appropiate here> |
| 36 |
which does this loop recording as described above AND is able to pull |
| 37 |
the Full HD stream correctly from the C920? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Where can I proceed? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Thank you very much in advance for any help! |
| 42 |
Best regards and have a nice weekend! |
