DVR-Scan is a command-line application that automatically detects motion events in video files (e.g. security camera footage). DVR-Scan looks for areas in footage containing motion, and saves each event to a separate video clip. DVR-Scan is free and open-source software, and works on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
pip install dvr-scan[opencv] --upgrade
Windows builds are also available on the Downloads page.
Scan video.mp4 (separate clips for each event):
dvr-scan -i video.mp4
Select a region to scan using the region editor:
dvr-scan -i video.mp4 -r
Select a region to scan using command line (list of points as X Y):
dvr-scan -i video.mp4 -a 50 50 100 50 100 100 100 50
Draw boxes around motion:
dvr-scan -i video.mp4 -bb
Use ffmpeg to extract events:
dvr-scan -i video.mp4 -m ffmpeg
