Breakthrough/DVR-Scan
:vhs: Tool for extracting scenes with motion from videos (e.g. security camera or DVR footage). Written in Python, uses OpenCV.
What it solves
DVR-Scan is designed to eliminate the tedious process of manually reviewing hours of security camera footage. It automatically detects motion events in video files and extracts them into separate, manageable video clips.
How it works
The tool scans video files for areas containing motion. Users can refine the detection process by selecting specific regions of interest (using a region editor or coordinate points) or by drawing bounding boxes around motion to focus the scan on specific areas of the footage.
Who it’s for
It is primarily for users who need to analyze security footage or any video content where motion detection is required to find relevant events quickly.
Highlights
- Command-line and GUI application available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
- Ability to define custom scan regions to reduce false positives.
- Integration with ffmpeg for event extraction.
- Support for a wide range of video formats via command-line and configuration file options.
