Record m-jpeg from networked camera

Postby jjoshua » Tue Nov 30, 2010 2:08 am

Is there a package that I can use to capture m-jpeg from a networked camera to a hard drive?

It looks like vlc would do what I need. Is this package available? I don't see it in the repository.

GStreamer is capable of doing this. It is currently already available from extra. But I'm looking for more optimized versions for Arch Linux ARM install with less dependencies.

I was seriously over thinking the solution. It turns out that wget will do the job perfectly.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jjoshua', 'I') was seriously over thinking the solution. It turns out that wget will do the job perfectly.


I have a network camera that pushes video over m-jpeg. I like this solution.
Does wget save a drive full of regular jpegs? Or does it save some other file?

I currently have the camera doing the work by transferring jpegs to a Arch Linux ARM install FTP server when it senses motion.
Then I have a cron job that deletes files older than 5 days (I got a small drive and a lot of motion).
This has been working well.

You get a drive full of asf files which can be played with mplayer.

Here's a short writeup and a script to make it all work.
