So I have a ip camera specifically dlink dcs-930l and all it can really do is show a live stream or send jpg files to a ftp server. I have the ftp options on my router and I found thousands of jpg files simply crashes my router.
I know there are programs that can handle monitoring but I'm leaning to low power like to use my router or raspberry pi. So assume for ddwrt or raspbian and assume for basic Linux skills.
Is there a way to automatically collect ftp transferred jpg to a video then delete the jpg?
I'm thinking something like a script that runs every hour or day with ffmpeg to make a mjpg. Then somehow have it auto delete the jpg files. I haven't tried to put it together to see if that approach works but I might be searching with incorrect terms or over thinking the concept.
