Record An IP Cam Network Stream In Linux

Code:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://192.168.241.1:62156 -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.mp4

For Linux Mint 18.1 Update:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
if ping -c 1 192.168.0.34 &> /dev/null
then
 echo "Host Up... Recording Stream"

# recordCam.sh AKA test.sh AkA Run.sh
#
# Function Cam will also work if you have set that up!
#
# ------------
# This script saves the live video from the Foscam IP camera to a full-quality mp4 file.
# I chose to split the files every 15 minutes (900 seconds), to quickly find the time I need.
# Note: audio is not saved as my cameras don't have a microphone connected to them.

Record Stream Function For Linux

Code:

function Cam (){
cd /home/jay/scripts/Stream_Recorder
sudo ./test.sh

}

add to your .bashrc file (via sudo) then start a new terminal window and type Cam


(also change to your own folder names etc! aLSO MAKE SURE FOLDER EXISTS > video/cam01

Example:
/home/jay/scripts/Stream_Recorder/video/cam01 )

After it runs once it wont run again, it has a time limit (900) with -t tag

you can use crontab or cronjobs to choose when to record   or maybe even use a call to the function after it finishes so it loops that way

Looping

Code:

function Cam (){
cd /home/jay/scripts/Stream_Recorder

sudo ./loop_test.sh
Cam

}

and the updated example for looping 60 = seconds change to what you wish to loop must be at least 1 minute!

Code:

name="`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M`"ffmpeg -i rtsp://admin:password@192.168.0.34:554 -r 30 -vcodec copy -an -t 60 $RECpath/cam01/$name.mp4


Motion Detection

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y gdebi-core motion

Code:

mkdir .motion

(Note: This will create a hidden folder .motion in your Home directory.)

Code:

cp /etc/motion/motion-dist.conf ~/.motion/motion.conf

(Note: This command will copy the original motion configuration file to its location.)

Now can open the configuration file for editing:

Code:

sudo nano ~/.motion/motion.conf

After you you have made all the appropriate adjustments to the configuration file, close it. Then start motion in the terminal simply by typing:

motion


Or

Code:

use Git

Code:

cd ~

Code:

git clone https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion.git

Code:

cd motion

Code:

autoreconf -fiv

Code:

./configure

Code:

make

Code:

make install
