That's a wonderful script. Now if I could find a way to do that with a
12 webcam security system, I'd have it made. As it is, whenever 1 is
unplugged, or if there's a power failure, they are randomly reassigned
video0 through video11. That is a problem because of the name(location),
and timestamping of each one. It's a pain to rewrite conf files and C
code that frequently. Maybe a comparative snapshot between restart
images and stored static images would do the trick. If
"cam1_restart.jpg" = = "stored_shipping.jpg", (allowing for minor
lighting variance), then reassign the variables automatically.
I believe it would be easier to force device names to stay the same. The
problem is that all the hubs are the same, and all the cameras are the
same. First come, first serve, I suppose.
There is another issue as well. I can either do streaming, or movement
detection and capture. I'd love to be able to do both at the same time.
