Examples

Save a stream of images

Continuously add a stream of images to the Motion Saver. When motion is detected it will save the previous 30 seconds of images, and keep saving until 20 seconds has passed since the last motion was detected.

from datetime import datetime

from motionsaver import MotionSaver

ms = MotionSaver()
ms.motion_threshold = 0.1
ms.save_previous_seconds = 30
ms.save_post_seconds = 20

while True:
    now = datetime.now()

    pillow_img = get_image()
    filename = '{}.jpg'.format(now.strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S'))

    ms.add_image(pillow_img, now, filename)
