Can I record video clips from ONVIF cameras using command line?

Yes, you can record short video clips from ONVIF cameras by executing direct commands that specify the desired duration, capturing segments of the camera feed for later review.

How does motion detection work with RTSP camera feeds?

Motion detection with RTSP camera feeds works by continuously monitoring the video stream for movement, allowing you to trigger automated actions or record clips when unusual activity is observed.

Do I need ffmpeg to process video clips from RTSP streams?

Yes, you need ffmpeg installed alongside the camera capture binary to process media, record video clips, and handle format conversion for snapshots retrieved from RTSP streams.

What's the best way to automate camera snapshots when motion is detected?

The best way to automate camera snapshots when motion is detected is by configuring a monitoring skill that watches the ONVIF or RTSP feed and triggers a snapshot capture command upon detecting movement.

Does ONVIF camera discovery work without manual IP configuration?

Yes, ONVIF camera discovery works without manual IP configuration by automatically scanning the network to find compatible cameras, allowing you to easily add and configure them for snapshotting and clipping.
