This is a feature request, not a bug. The surveillance NVR records many files to a single folder for each day. I would like the ability to process all files in a single folder and receive a report at the end of which files had motion in them. It would also be ideal for DVR-Scan to have a delete option to delete any files without motion, or to somehow mark them (maybe rename) so that they can easily be deleted.

The batch processing is a good idea, but I checked and that would be covered by issue #5 already. I'll pin that one to make it's visibility higher.

I don't want to make DVR-Scan modify any input files, but could make it output a list/CSV file for each file that has motion detected. Then one could write a script to look at all of the CSV files, and if they have more than just a header row, you know there was motion in the video (otherwise it is safe to delete). This is something that can probably be done with a few lines in Python.

Is this an acceptable solution for you? If so I can close this as a duplicate of #5.

Hi @kev1nme1er;

Gotcha, that makes sense. I guess this is more similar to a kind of "report" function then.

How about something like that, which generates a CSV file containing a list of all scanned video files, and how many motion events were detected (as well as other possible statistics in the future, e.g. average motion event length)?

Thanks!

Edit: I updated the title of this issue to be more reflective of this - if this isn't what you had in mind, please feel free to correct it or revert the title.

Hi @kev1nme1er;

Sorry for the delayed response. No plans as of yet for donations or monetization, currently have a lot on the go with my career. However I'm always open to new opportunities or ideas. I may sign up for the Github Sponsors program, but want to be cautious that I cannot offer paid support or any kind of for-profit development (at least not in my current position).

I'm currently sorting out creating a distribution for Windows again, after which I can return to looking at feature development like this. Supporting multiple input files is definitely something that's still on my radar, I just still have a lot of refactor and quality-of-life improvements to address on the project before adding new features.

Many thanks for the suggestions and feedback, will keep you posted for sure!
