Not only that....gphoto supports a cli interface so that you can use cron to take pictures and download them from the camera over any time period you want....very useful...gphoto also supports multiple cameras on the USB interface so that you could possibly also have several camera arranged in a pattern and have then shoot at basically the same time....then an image stitcher will allow for timed panaroma images to be taken....
While not terribly useful for security, it's really cool for time lapse photography....if you wanna see what gphoto can do...take at look at my project web site at: http://www.pods.hawaii.edu and look at the cameras....these images were done with a nikon coolpix800 from linux boxes. We've now got them running on the familier distro on the compaq ipaq.. /brian chee University of Hawaii ICS Dept Advanced Network Computing Lab 1680 East West Road, POST rm 311 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 808-956-5175 fax ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Strode" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 10:18 AM Subject: Re: [luau] Digital Camera with Linux > > Does anyone have, or know anyone who has, experience in operating a > > digital camera with > > > Linux (e.g., downloading images, connecting smartcard/compact flash > > adaptors, editting images, etc.)? > > http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/ is a good peice of software for getting > images. > > --Ray > > _______________________________________________ > LUAU mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau
