Hello, i would like to get a frame from mw axis 205 when somebody touch a door button.

I have a data card,programed in C where i get events from sensors, then i would like that when "sensor 3" be activated, zoneminder gets a frame, in wich i could set the time an date as name.


Could somebody help me with this script?

THANKS

Please, could you say me, how can I get a frame from my axis? with a linux command?


and how can I do that the frames be named with time and date.

im not sure of the whole command but you should be able to use a wget command. This doesnt requuire zoneminder though.

Thanks but i dont know how to name it, i have proved with wget and works well but i don't know how to name the frames.

sorry mate nor me. Looks like your gonna need some script that runs and copies most recent jpeg and renames it in the new location, but i cant help on that. If i were to try id google for how to copy things via script etc and see how to do it via the command line, then once proven make a script. Scripts can i beleive be run as cron jobs at the frequency you set

thanks James, I'll do it with wget, with the -o option and the rest of the work with C or ruby

You can probably do it entirely in the shell if you use something like -o `date +'%s'`.jpg or something for the output of wget. That will datestamp your files, do 'man date' to get the list of date formats you can use.
