My Motion Triggered Video Recorder composition is attached.
Not sure it's all using the best methods but it's working, mostly as I want.
It saves movies to the desktop at 25fps when motion is being detected and wait's 4 seconds to stop recording after the motion stops. Also sequentially names the .movs
EDIT: trying it out now with a miniDV camera as input rather than isight/facetime camera. By having a look at the number coming out of the RGB addition I was able to set the sensitivity quite accurately.
No video of the suspected rat yet as the weather has been too cold and wet.
I did find the problem upstream. When the camera first sends a frame the difference calculation throws out a 1 and that was triggering a recording.
I added a couple of seconds delay when the composition starts up before it can start recording using a Measure Time and an All True so that it ignores the first trigger.
I'm not sure what howie is using this for but I am just making a very simple 'security camera' type app for myself as I wanted to identify a nocturnal animal which has burrowed next to my home.
Hello all,
I'm trying to trigger a movie recording using this motion detection patch and can't figure out the event blocking process that is required...
How do I block the events coming from the camera input from reaching the Save Images to Movie node until it receives the trigger from the detected movement?
This is what I've been trying...
