That's roughly 2.5 miles plus 12.6 miles. I am guessing that is corruption from the 2-hop link from my QTH to the actual camera. Roughly 5-10% of them may have obvious corruption as seen with a viewer on the PC (I use Faststone viewer). One thing to note is that not all grabbed frames (JPGs) are of perfect quality. The script also removed the acumulator.tar so that can begin accumulating from scratch for the new day. => At 11:59 PM every night: The RPI will run a second script that will place all the acquired JPGs for the day, into a single tar file with the name that is the date of all the JPGs. There is a note on the web page suggesting that '7zip' is a tool that can be installed on a Windows PC that can easily extract all the JPGs from the accumulator.tar file. That accumulator.tar is also available on the web page. Alternately, one could download the accumulator.tar and have all the JPGs to date (just for one day) for viewing on their PC. The individual JPGs are availabe for view on my RPI web page. Add each acquired JPG to a running accumulator.tar file. Name each JPG with the current date/time. => Every 5 minutes: The RPI will run a script that will grab a JPG frame from a remote (Hosafe) rtsp stream. On my RPI (Raspberry Pi) here, I have two crontab scripts that do the following: You can Google details on loading avconv to your pi load (it's painless).įTPing in a shell script is just as painless: Of course, change your rtsp address, user, and password to fit your needs. usr/bin/avconv -y -loglevel debug -rtsp_transport tcp -i ' rtsp://:554 //user=USER_password=PASSWORD_channel=1_stream=1.sdp' We're grabbing the images from the rtsp stream using avconv on a pi.

Weather Underground provides a nice ftp service, and since one of our cameras is co-located with a Davis weather station (fed to a pi, also on the mesh!), we're ftping an image to there every 3 minutes during the day, and every 30 minutes at night.

String rtsp = VlcjDriver(Arrays.One of the ways we're generating additional interest in the mesh and our weather camera project is to push images to a website.
