| This script uses `ffmpeg` to download via RTSP the video and audio from your camera saving it in the MP4 format, the name will start with the `date` of the day (ex. `2022-08-26--22-00-00-capture-0000.mp4`) and a file will be recorded and saved every `$TIME` seconds. | ||

| The name of the files starts with a date to make it easier the management of the files, like removing easily all the records of a specific month, day or year. | ||

How does this work, does the stream get downloaded until a certain point? and could we do this "indefinitely" until the script is stopped? Some questions I think that should be answered:

| ### Why ffmpeg? | ||
|
|
||
| I tried **openRTSP** ❌ but half of the video in the MP4 format is without audio and I don't know why. | ||
|
|
||
| example: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| openRTSP -D 1 -c -B 10000000 -b 10000000 -q -Q -F cam_eight -d 28800 -P 10 -t rtsp://"admin":"mypassword"@192.168.0.176:554 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| source of command and explanation: https://superuser.com/questions/766437/capture-rtsp-stream-from-ip-camera-and-store | ||
|
|
||
| I tried **VLC** ❌ but I got some issues saving the files with the audio and managing it. | ||
|
|
||
| example command: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| cvlc rtsp://admin:password@192.168.0.176:554//h264Preview_01_main --sout=file/ts:mystream.mpg | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| FFmpeg was the best, so I chose it. ✅ | ||
|
|
||
| ## clean_record.sh | ||
|
|
||
| This script deletes all the records inside a `tmp` directory of the previous month. | ||

Learn more. we can achieve the same thing using a flag with the download script, but i think your approach is better since it cannot be accidental when you literally run "clean_records". But I think you still need to be able to delete stuff in a different folder and thus need to accept an argument for a directory
