Unifi protect timelapse capture.md

the following ffmpeg permits to save images in highest quality to generate a timelapse:

export RTSP_STREAM='rtsps://abcdeffhijklmnop:1234/asdlfkjasdlf'
ffmpeg -loglevel error -rtsp_transport tcp \
  -i $RTSP_STREAM \
  -vf fps=1/120 \
  -q:v 1 -strftime 1 \
  "%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.jpg"
  • the vf (videofilter) fps=1/120 selects one image every 120 second, adjust as needed
  • q:v 1 selects the highest video setting for the exported images
  • -strftime 1 permits to have the timestamp in the file name, as described here
