Automatically send to FTP

[joaoasilva]

Hi,
First of all, thanks for your hard work.
Is it possible to automatically send the recorded videos to FTP?

Thanks.

Yes it is possible. Some scripts have been developed by others to fetch recorded video data automatically.

Most people write a script that runs on a small board like Raspberry Pi or potentially their router to automatically fetch the recorded videos and copy them to their NAS or cloud storage (Google Drive, DropBox etc).

@joaoasilva have you found a script that fetch recorded video data automatically to ftp? I'm searching such a script to save the data on my router.

@shadow-1 could that be an alternative/easier solution to stream videos as via rtsp?

Two people have successfully written scripts to download recorded video files automatically using FTP. Unfortunately they did not share the scripts in the thread. Link: #13

RTSP support is a work in progress at the moment.

I am working on this functionality. My concept is to have a .sh script that listens to the /tmp/sd/record directory for file changes and then automatically pushes those files to a sftp server.

I'm working on getting this setup. I had been trying to use the ftpput command and was getting some errors. Any resources on setting up sftp or automating this process would be awesome!
