mjpg-consumer

A node that consumes a mjpeg stream and outputs the latest saved frame as buffer

Stream should be the address of the stream

Streaming interval should be the number of seconds between buffer outputs

To enable output send "start" as payload (Can use an inject node or a dashboard switch). To disable, send "stop".

1. Install from npm

   cd %Node-RED%
   npm install node-red-contrib-mjpgcamera
   

   ​

2. To install from git:

   git clone https://github.com/electronicplayground/node-red-contrib-mjpgcamera.git
   cd node-red-contrib-mjpgcamera
   npm link
   cd %Node-RED%
   npm link node-red-contrib-mjpgcamera

Import the JSON below after installing the node to output the frame buffer to debug node and save frame as file. Edit mjpgConsumer to match your values (stream uri and output interval) and the file node to match the location to save the stream to as .JPG.
