ipcam_motion_worker.sh

One worker per camera.

Usage

ipcam_motion_worker.sh [-v] [--allow-multiple] -c ~/.config/ipcam_motion_worker/1.txt

Configuration

Local worker config example:

api_url=http://ip:port
camera=1

Remote worker config example:

remote=1
api_url=http://ip:port
camera=1
fs_root=/var/ipcam_motion_fs
fs_max_filesize=146800640

Optional fields (dvr-scan options):

roi_file=roi.txt
threshold=1
min_event_length=3s
downscale_factor=3
frame_skip=2
dvr_scan_path=

api_url must point to ipcam_server instance.

/var/ipcam_motion_fs should be a tmpfs mountpoint. Therefore, /etc/fstab:

tmpfs /var/ipcam_motion_fs tmpfs size=150M,mode=1755,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 

ipcam_motion_worker_multiple.sh

This script just consequentially runs ipcam_motion_worker.sh with -c ~/.config/ipcam_motion_worker/$NAME.txt argument.

Usage

ipcam_worker_worker_multiple.sh -v NAME NAME NAME ...

When launching by cron, set TERM=xterm and PATH (to your $PATH) variables in crontab.
