Script for a capture

[wookie_in_maine]

I'm looking to do a time lapse on some of my outdoor camera's. How would I have them take a photo at 10am every day and save that photo?

cron job that starts a PERL script that through zmTrigger.pl starts the camera at 9:59 and stops it 3 minutes later. then look through the stills for 10:00am.
an example string sent to zmTrigger.pl activated by cron would be 1|on+3|255|10am Photo|
turns on monitor 1 for 3 minutes adding the Cause as 10am Photo.
there most likely is a more elegant method but this may help get you started in the right direction.

The simplest way to do that is described here:
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=23277&p=88518&hili ... jpg#p88475

This will put a snapshot jpeg into the folder of your choosing. Put it into a cronjob and run it as often as you desire.

that is genius! opens up other possibilities.
