A fun 2 hour project for setting up a web camera based security system. Key features include:
- Motion based capture - doesn't flood your hard drive with recordings
- Use existing cameras of your pc to record videos.
- Listener script to only start the node when you are awy i.e screen is locked
Script depends on
gnome
and runs with bash.
No specific instructions. Just make sure:
- your camera is connected and is available on
/dev/videoXX
whereXX
is the camera number - change the value in
docker-compose.yml
to reflect this number. - Run the script
./lstener.sh
