[HOW-TO] webcam

[velcrow]

Hi Wpte & thanks for the how to -

Have been using this for a while but would now like to backup the images that are taken.

I am assuming at the moment that display.jpg is just overwritten with every refresh, but I would like to store these images instead.

Is this possible - is there a setting in rcamd that I can use or could I create a script to copy/move display.jpg every time it is modified.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

** BTW: the reason I am doing this is I want to create a stop-motion video of a plant growing ***

I can see that display.jpg is symlinked to /var/tmp/display.jpg and in turn this file is dynamically syslinked to record0.jpg - record5.jpg

this seems to be the last 6 images - is there a way to change the symlinks to the usb drive and to set it to record the last 100 images instead of the last 5??
