'''''camd''''' is a program written by [[hist:Alex Williams|Alex Williams]] to replace the old proprietary software that provided us with CCTV functionality. Currently running on [[ystvstrm1]], it has an init script (<code>/etc/init.d/webcam</code>) which brings it up on startup. It takes feeds from cameras in the studio (Canon DM-MV600i E) and control room (beige Sony CCD camera) into a capture card, and renders it to JPGs (deinterlacing, translating the colour space, getting locks on the device in the right order) which are displayed on the website when logged in under the [https://ystv.co.uk/internal/webcam Webcams] section. Watchers are logged under <code>/tmp/camd.log</code>. | '''''camd''''' is a program written by [[hist:Alex Williams|Alex Williams]] to replace the old, proprietary software (ZoneMinder) that provided us with CCTV functionality, but was very unstable with our capture card. | ||

These security camera videos are kept for a couple of weeks. | Every 24 hours a cron job runs to concatenate the logged JPGs into an MJPEG video, which is then stored under <code>/mnt/inform/var/camd/</code>, and delete the static images.
