Introduction
The project involves using a Raspberry Pi computer board to record video with a webcam and then back it up automatically on a remote FTP server with an Internet connection, at the time that such a connection is available. It is intended that the video file has a unique extension defined and remains constant as it extends the recording, eliminating sections of the oldest parts of the video as the system add the latest at the final of the video.
This is a project that consists of two parts, this being the first. Here we will explain how to configure the Raspberry Pi and describe the steps to edit video from the console. In the second part, which will be the final project of the course, a script will be implemented in a programming language to make the process automatic and manage to have a system that keeps a single size while still recording video.
The second part has already been completed, you can view here.
