Files through MotionDetect

Postby daBee » 16 Nov 2018 15:45

Hi folks.

Just wondering if I can implement motiondetect through the terminal/Ruby script to log motion detection. I record video security files and I don't want to watch them at the end of the day. I'd rather my workstation go through them and tell me what to look for.

Currently I'm trying to run the CLI to log -vv or -vvv into a text file so that I can use Ruby to iterate through it and grab necessary information for notification. Here is as far as I have got so far, not much in it:

vlc -vv --video-filter=motiondetect tshort.mov

Current issues:

- It doesn't follow through after the video is completed. Output:

- -vv doesn't have timestamps for me to reference upon a set limit (X moving shapes)

- -vvv doesn't seem to have a timestamp within the clip, or anything that I can see that I can use as a timeline marker I can translate to time.

Any insight appreciated. Cheers
