Forked from Leo (DoctorWhoof) to make minor changes. Tweaked code a bit to suite my needs, and did some refactoring. Enjoy
###Changes:
- Script now takes command line arguments, that overrides default values. Check the table below for list of arguments, descriptions and default values
- It is possible now not to record (start script with
--recording falseargument)
Example script run: python init.py --[argument] [value] (without brackets)
| Argument | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
recording |
Set this to true if you want recording to occur upon detecting motion |
false |
dates |
Set this to true if you want to use dates as folders, example: year/month/day/file |
false |
width |
Capture width | 640 |
height |
Capture height | 480 |
bitrate |
Capture bitrate | 0 |
quantization |
Capture quantization, 10 is very high quality, 40 is very low. Use bitrate = 0 if quantization is non-zero. | 20 |
timerstart |
Only allows recording after this hour | 0 |
timerstop |
Only allows recording before this hour | 24 |
videoreduction |
A video recorded at 1920x1440 will be scaled by half and saved at 960x720, reducing noise. For best result, set this to 2 |
2 |
nightvideoreduction |
Scaling for nightMode | 2 |
mintail |
How long to keep testing for motion after last activity before committing file | 10 |
videofps |
Video file framerate | 15 |
rotation |
Image rotation, warning: cropping will occur! |
0 |
path |
Base videos path, defaults to init.py path | pathof(init.py) |
prefix |
Video file prefix | "" |
tomp4 |
Convert to MP4? Requires GPAC to be installed. Removes original .h264 file. If you want .mp4 files instead of .h264, install gpac with sudo apt-get install -y gpac |
false |
preview |
Whether the preview window will be opened when running inside X. | false |
testinterval |
Interval at which stills are captured to test for motion | 0.25 |
testwidth |
Motion testing horizontal resolution. Use low values! |
96 |
testheight |
Motion testing vertical resolution. Use low values! |
72 |
threshold |
How much a pixel value has to change to consider it "motion". | 20 |
sensitivity |
How many pixels have to change to trigger motion detection. Good day values with no wind: 20 and 25; with wind: at least 30 and 50; good night values: 15 and 20? | 25 |
