HPWREN Webcam Video from Archived Images

A very crude script to get 24 hours worth of images from a camera like https://hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/S/SD/stgo.html and compile the static images into a video of your desired length.

Usage: ./run.sh https://hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/archive/stgo-w-mobo-c/large/20230911/ 60

The above will generate a 60 second long video from the days worth of images from the Santiago West camera.

Here is the result (in a lower quality)

video-720.mp4

It works on my machine 🤷‍♂️. You'll probably be fine if you replace command-threader with bash in prep-images.py, but it will take longer to download all the images since it's not doing it in parallel.

Please be nice HPWREN and don't abuse their free bandwidth.
