Description
Cammotion is an application that take photos from a v4l2 webcam when some movement is detected by the BUGmotion module.
It works the following way:
The java application launches mplayer,that displays the camera input fullscreen,and when a movement is detected,it takes a picture and put it in /home/root/.mplayer/screenshots. (the screenshot file names are like this: shot0001.png).That’s all for now.
while not having many features,it also has some limitations.
As I used mplayer the pictures are the size of the screen,that is 320×240,and you need a screen.
- mplayer with v4l2 support (cross)compiled for the bug device
- a kernel compiled with gspca or your v4l2 webcam driver.(kernel patching not needed,you only need a different kernel configuration(.config) and to recompile the kernel)
Binaries for mplayer and the kernel will be avaliable soon - a standard v4l2 webcam such as a gspca one pluged into the von-hippel USB port
License:
The license is the GPLv3.
If you need a special exception because you want to combine this software with a software that has an incompatible license(such as GPLv2 only(not GPLv2 or later))
- timestamps
- download the pictures as zip file from the web service
- investigate how to have a headless mplayer that works without a real display(could also be used to increase the resolution)
- the first time I didn’t empty stdout and stderr comming from the process so I had a broken pipe
- the second time I did “sh”, ”-c”, “export”,”DISPLAY” etc… instead of “sh” ”-c” “export DISPLAY etc…”
