dashcam

Vidd

Dashcam video extractor and exporter.

About

This project is a set of Python scripts I created to easily manage my Viofo dashcam. You might find it useful, but beware that my primary goal was to make my life easier, and I didn't focus a lot on making these tools reusable. But it will definitely serve as a good strating point. Most probably it'll work out of the box.

Requirements

I built this on top of Debian system, so I advise you use that. Eventually I want to have this running on Rapsberry PI, but in the meantime, this is what it needs:

• python3-logzero
• python3-pyudev
• ncftp

Scripts available

sync.py

The end game is having Rapsberry PI box in garage, and after a drive, I'd take out MicroSD card from the dashcam, plug it in into Rapsberry PI box and it would automatically sync videos to NAS. This script is a start of that journey.

This is how you should run it:

./run.py --ftp-password 123

Use ./run.py --help to see what you can feed it with.

After you run it, it will wait for USB drive to be inserted that has a partition (as it is the case with my dashcam). Once it detects is, it will join all video files of a certain day and upload that to nas using FTP protocol.
