RTSP Stream Recorder is a tool for recording and processing RTSP streams. The tool uses FFmpeg for recording and Bash scripts for processing the streams.

RTSP Stream Recorder

This is a Docker and Docker Compose based solution for recording 5 RTSP streams using FFmpeg and Bash scripts. It provides the following functionality:

Recording

• Record each stream as 10 minutes clips

Merging

• At the end of the day, the clips will be merged into one 24 hour video

Timelapse

• Create a timelapse video of the past day's footage

Disk Space Management

• Cleanup old recorded videos if disk space is running low

Getting Started

1. Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed.
2. Update the RTSP stream URLs in the docker-compose.yml configuration file.
3. Run docker-compose up -d to start the recording and merging containers.
4. The recorded videos will be saved in the output directory.

Images

• recorder: container that records the RTSP streams
• merger: container that runs a cronjob at the end of the day to merge the clips and create a timelapse video

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter any issues while running the containers, you can check the logs by running docker logs [container-name].
• If you continue to have trouble, please open an issue on the project's Github page.

Unrecognized option 'stimeout'

Hi there.
On a newer version of ffmpeg flag -stimeout was renamed to -timeout or listen_timeout

Should specify ffmpeg version explicitly, and rename the flag :)
