A web service to store and give access to video recordings
This project is a specialized web site for accessing video recordings.
The goal is to eventually support both security videos (i.e. be used as a security DVR) and TV recording (i.e. be used as a TV DVR).
A video recordings is primarily identified by when it was created, so the file store is organized by years, months and days. A video record is stored as two files: the video file itself, and a "title" screenshot.
Recordings are kept until the disk becomes full, in which case the oldest files are eliminated.
The video feeds declare themselves, similar to the MotionCenter API.
This service depends on the House series environment:
- Install git, icoutils, openssl (libssl-dev).
- Install echttp
- Install houseportal
- Clone this repository.
- make rebuild
- sudo make install
This service takes the following specific command line options:
- -dvr-store=PATH: the full path where the video recording files are stored.
- -dvr-clean=NN: the disk usage level (percentage) at which the oldest files are being deleted. HouseDvr will delete files until the disk utilization falls below this limit.
- -dvr-feed: the name of the video feed service (reserved for future use).
