SCRAP (Security Camera Recording APplication) is a security camera recording application for Linux. |
||||
Features | ||||
SCRAP is capable of working with any video4linux compatible device, supporring all of its documented features. It can grab frames from multiple inputs of a single device and also support working with multiple capture boards at the same time, giving user the advantage of a low-cost recording system. It has a very reliable motion detection system, recording only when movement happens and ignoring the rest, including light changes. So, in a tipical 24h recording cycle, you will have only a few hours of recorded video. Videos are recorded using XviD's MPEG-4 compression, witch is one of the best video codecs today. The generated AVIs should be playable on AVI+MPEG4 capable video player (all modern video players are). There is also a recording archive management system, with alow the user keep archived only the recent recordings, erasing the old ones. User can set to erase recordings older than a number of days, or set a maximum disk usage. Although SCRAP is a console application, it is full featured. It is intented to be run as a daemon, in the background, letting SCRAP doing the recording job without other systems users even notice it is running. |
