Raw

About the Project

The project is designed to manage images uploaded by a (Hikvision) IP-Camera in a folder using FTP. The images in the temp/ Folder are moved by the move.sh script in the right folder named by it's current date. Every night should be the raffer.sh script automatically started to render the images to one full video. Optionally the videos are uploaded to specific nextcloud server, configurable in config.cfg

Prerequisites

  • ffmpeg 
    sudo apt install ffmpeg
  • python3

Installation

Be stupid and do it with bash

  1. Clone the repo

    git clone https://github.com/maexled/camera-images-bash-manager.git
cd camera-images-bash-manager/

  2. Install needed python libraries

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Create files folder

    mkdir files

  4. Define variables in config.cfg

    fps="10"
raffer_execution="00:15"
samba_user="samba"
samba_uid="1000"
object_detection="true"
check_for_broken_images="true"
save_longtime_pictures="true"
save_object_detection="true"
save_to_nextcloud="true"
nextcloud_host="https://yournextcloud.com"
nextcloud_path="Videos"
nextcloud_username="Maexled"
nextcloud_password="YourSecretPassword"
    • samba_user - is the user who will own the moved files
    • raffer_execution - if you want to execute raffer in other ways (e.g cron), keep it empty

    The other variables should be self-explanatory

  5. Start move.sh in screen

    bash move.sh

  6. Create crontab for raffer.sh, for example crontab -e

    15 0 * * * bash /camera/raffer.sh

    This will execute everyday 00:15 the raffer script makes the video then.

Be smart and do it with docker!

docker run \
   --name camera-images-manager \
   -v /home/max/cameratest/files:/camera/files \
   -v /home/max/cameratest/temp:/camera/temp \
   -v /home/max/cameratest/config.cfg:/camera/config.cfg \
   -e TZ=Europe/Berlin \
   ghcr.io/maexled/camera-images-bash-manager

Configuration variables in config.cfg:

  • samba_user - The user that should own the files. Will be created in docker container
  • samba_uid - The uid of the user.
