Recording a video

You can easily record a video from a camera using the utility ffmpeg. If you are using Ubuntu, install it running:

$ sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg

To make a video with 10 seconds of duration, execute the command that the STREAMING_URI is the same as used in browser:

$ ffmpeg  -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -f mjpeg -i "STREAMING_URI" -t 10 -c copy -y output.mp4

Otherwise, if you want record until a key press event, run the command below and then press q to exit.

$ ffmpeg  -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -f mjpeg -i "STREAMING_URI" -c copy -y output.mp4
