webstills

This is a simple Node.js script to periodically fetch webcam still images and save them to the current directory.

Use

node dist/index.js [options] URL

  -i nnn, --interval nnn    mS between fetches [default: 5000]
  -m, --mxf                 rename files to MXF creation time
  -v, --verbose             show filenames as they are written
  -h, --help                show this help

If URL ends in a = an incrementing integer is appended to it for each fetch in an attempt to avoid aggressive request caching.

By default, files are named for the number of mS past the epoch when the fetch started.
