# NAME

Telegram::CamshotBot - Telegram bot that send you a snapshot from IP camera using ffmpeg (don't forget to install it!)

# VERSION

version 0.03

# RUNNING

Docker way

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pavelsr/camshotbot/master/docker-compose.yml.example > docker-compose.yml

then edit CAMSHOTBOT\_\* variables and change network if needed

    docker-compose up -d

Standalone way

1) Place .camshotbot file in home user directory or camshotbot.conf.json in directory from what you will run camshotbot
Add all essential variables:  telegram\_api\_token, stream\_url, bot\_domain

2) As alternative to (1) you can set all CAMSHOTBOT\_\* environment variables (see ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section)

3) run

    camshotbot daemon

For performance you can run ffmpeg in a separate "caching" docker container.
String below will output a single image that is continuously overwritten with new images

    docker run -d -it -v $(pwd):/tmp/workdir --network=host jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3.3-alpine -hide_banner -loglevel error -i rtsp://10.132.193.9//ch0.h264 -f image2 -vf fps=1/3 -y -update 1 latest.jpg

For more details please see docker-compose.yml.example

!! ATTENTION ! Bot is working correctly only if version of Telegram::CamshotBot >= 0.03.
There are some critical errors in previous versions, sorry for that.
