[wuug-list] [Windsor Board] Paul: Re: To Learn Linux

[Matthew Johnston]

I have a bit of a challenge for the group.  I want to get a webcam and
setup a cronjob or something so that it will take time-lapse pictures,
( 5 frames/second or so instead of the default 30 fps) save it in say
2-hour 'chunks' and then compress it (xvid).  And at the end delete
anything older then 2-days.

Any suggestions? camera?
I want to mount the camera in my vehicle so that it will record the
entire trip so a automatic focus and long'ish view are important.
