save events as a mp4 file and JPGs

[askr]

Hello,

After long time i have found way to deal with my files with zoneminder.

Now I have to archive all events from this videos, which I am putting to ZM via 'ffmpeg' input. Monitor type is "Modect'

I would like to scan big video footage and remove it.

How can I save only parts with motion when the movement is detected ? Material has 24hr and movement is about 3minutes. So, I would expect to trim that moment by ZM and save into it's database.

Would be great if there will be possibility grab all frame to separate jpg file.

And I would like to have access to that through the ZM console.

regards

script that scans the jpg images and deletes all the jpg's that are not in the "Alarm" state? Saving only those jpgs directly marked red. Interesting project...perhaps a tool that does this as a daemon or started on demand.

hmm, thats big...

I thought that lot of images are created when the alarm is trigerred, and that ones before alarm could be left to eventually check to compare the state. So this is not the problem for me.

My problem here, is only to grab the mp4 (or other output file) trimmed at the time of event. Is that possible? How can I get that ?

regards
