In addition to locating both +the time and duration of each motion event, DVR-Scan will save +the footage of each motion event to a new, separate video clip. + +Not only is DVR-Scan free and open-source software (FOSS), +written in Python, and based on Numpy and OpenCV, it was built +to be extendable and hackable. + +For users wanting finer control over the output video encoding +method, the default timecode format (HH:MM:SS.nnnn) is compatible +with most popular video tools, so in most cases the motion events +DVR-Scan finds can be simply copied and pasted into another tool +of your choice (e.g. ffmpeg, avconv or the mkvtoolnix suite). |
