guvcview ~ Multiple photos with delay between captures but more advanced?
by DeadlyUnicorn from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YEQ6)
Like I am using guvcview as it's the only application I could find that has a delay-between-captures option on ubuntu.
->
->
-> I want to capture 3 photos with a 1 second delay between each capture, due to if I capture only 1 it might turn out blurry (due to natural occurrences).
-> After those 3 are captured I want a 20 minute delay before it can do the same again..
-> I tried to write a script but the "-t" (delay time) gets just re-written instead of working as a separate variable each time..
Here is what I tried : "guvcview -n 30 -t 1 -t 1 -t 1 -t 1200" , where "-n" number of total captures and "-t" delay before each capture (in secs) (It only executes the last "-t " )
Any Ideas on how to make it work?
