[Chester LUG] Happy Christmas & New Year!

[Roger Gibson]

Hi Folks.  Sorry I've not been along for a bit.

I have a new home security camera for which I have the internet address 
of a flash_hd.asp feed to the monitoring laptop.  The camera has a 
continuously overwriting (about 2 weeks worth) 128GB SD card and can 
alternately download via camera software to the monitoring laptop 
instead, but not both.  Since also the live feed comes as a flash as 
mentioned above which I can view in a browser, can I also capture this 
feed in say 10 minute chunks as files to a directory on or attached to 
the monitoring laptop.  That way I have back up in case either SD card 
or monitoring laptop fails, and can store records for longer with bigger 
storage medium.  Ideally the storage files should be in as concise and 
universally readable medium as is sensible while maintaining original 
discrimination for reading number plates etc.

This ought to be easy.  Anyone got any ideas?  If it helps, I could 
bring it along as a project one Thursday.

Many thanks - Roger.
