This script is currently designed to probe the SavedClips folder of a
flash drive used with Tesla's Sentry Mode, merge the three camera feeds
into one video file, add a timestamp, and then concatenate the one minute
clips into a full-lenth ten minute clip for easier browsing.
Running teslacam_merge.sh will search the mounted USB drives for the
TeslaCam/SavedClips folder, and parse any folders of video files found
there. If it detects that it has already processed the folder (because
the output already exists), it will skip that folder.
I use Linux at home and work, so the script was first developed with a Linux
system in mind, with ffmpeg already installed. It will detect the USB
drive by probing /dev/disk/by-id/* for USB drives. Currently the script
assumes that only the TeslaCam USB is plugged in.
It also will run on Windows, provided that the
Windows Subsystem for Linux is
installed, and ffmpeg is installed into the subsystem.
In this case, the connected USB drives will be probed with the WMIC.exe
Windows tool, and any drive containing "Tesla" in the volume name will
be mounted into the WSL system and processed as desribed above.
If all the files in this repo are copied into the root of the TeslaCam drive,
the script can be run easily by double-clicking on teslacam_merge.bat. This
step is necessary because AutoRun is disabled on USB drives in modern versions
of Windows due to security concerns.
After working on this, I found a more advanced project written in Python that will do a lot of the same things (and more), but requires a Python installation, obviously. Give both a shot!
