An adaptable Python script designed to effortlessly capture and store RTSP streams. This versatile tool empowers users to record CCTV feeds onto a (personal) server, providing an alternative to costly subscriptions and eliminating concerns over the storage of sensitive footage in third-party cloud platforms.
To ensure the highest possible uptime and smooth operation of the application, I highly recommend using PM2 for deployment and management. PM2 is a process manager for Node.js applications that offers advanced features for process monitoring, automatic restarts, and load balancing.
-
Process Monitoring: PM2 provides real-time monitoring of the application, allowing you to track resource usage, performance metrics, and logs. This helps in identifying and addressing any issues promptly.
-
Automatic Restarts: In the event of a crash or unexpected termination, PM2 can automatically restart the application, ensuring minimal downtime and uninterrupted service.
-
Load Balancing: PM2 offers load balancing capabilities, allowing you to scale the application horizontally across multiple instances. This helps distribute the processing load and improves overall system performance.
-
Install PM2 globally on your server by running:
npm install pm2 -g -
Clone the project repository:
git clone https://github.com/sidvanvliet/rtsp-camcorder.git -
Navigate to the project directory:
cd rtsp-camcorder -
Install project dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt -
Start the application using PM2:
pm2 start main.py --name rtsp-camcorder -
Monitor the application's status and logs:
pm2 monit
For more advanced configuration options and customization, please refer to the PM2 documentation.
By using PM2 for deployment, you can ensure the reliability and continuous operation of the RTSP-Camcorder, enabling you to capture and process video feeds with the highest possible uptime.
