TimeShotBox

Player for motion detection shots of your security camera backup on DropBox

Built this tool for my set of security cameras in very remote location. Internet connection there is so slow that I can't use it to check and browse video remotely. But there's nice feature in my security system - upload photos to DropBox when motion is detected. So there is a way to browse this motion detection timeframes.

You can check the demo in action. It displays key timeframes from Early Bird Cafe - Week one V024 video by Cornish Time Passages. You can check keyframes photos on DropBox here.

Build with:

• node.js
• lovacli
• Restify
• Vue.js

Installation

    git clone https://github.com/jeka-kiselyov/timeshotbox.git
    cd timeshotbox
    npm install

Create new DropBox app and generate access token for your account.

Rename sample.js to settings.js in settings folder and update its contents:

module.exports = {
    dropbox: {
        accessToken: "DebXXXXXXXXXXXXDw", //// you can generate access token for your account: 
        //// https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2014/05/generate-an-access-token-for-your-own-account/
        rootPath: "/dvr/videomotion",
        longPollTimeout: 60,
        removeFolderRegex: "^\\/dvr\\/videomotion\\/[0-9]+quot;,
        removeFolderIfThereIsNoFileNewerThanXDays: 10,
        time: 'server', /// 'server' or 'client'. Default is 'server' (dropbox time).
        channels: [
            {
                name: 'CH1',
                pathRegEx: "^[\\w+/]+\\/id_01_ch_01\\.jpgquot; 
            },
            {
                name: 'CH2',
                pathRegEx: "^[\\w+/]+\\/id_01_ch_02\\.jpgquot;
            },
            {
                name: 'CH3',
                pathRegEx: "^[\\w+/]+\\/id_01_ch_03\\.jpgquot;
            },
            {
                name: 'CH4',
                pathRegEx: "^[\\w+/]+\\/id_01_ch_04\\.jpgquot;
            }
        ]
    },
    server: {
        enableLivereload: false,      /// enable LiveReload server. Set to true for dev env
        enableWebpackWatch: false,    /// enable WebPack compiling. Set to true for dev env
        enableWebpackBuild: true,    /// build frontend sources codes each start. Set to true for dev env
        port: 9090,
        checkAuthIP: true,			  /// tie auth to IP
        maxAuthCodeAge: 24*60*60,     /// limit auth time
        credentials: [
            {
                username: 'admin',
                password: 'admin'
            }
        ]
    }
