I have an IP camera that is running correctly. I can open http:its.address.com/videostream.cgi in my browser and view the video successfully. Now I would like to create a program or script that saves X seconds worth of video whenever I run it.

I thought maybe VLC would do this, but I get No suitable decoder module for fourcc 'MJPG'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format. I reinstalled VLC with apt-get and get the same result.

  1. What is the best tool for the job of recording frames on demand?
  2. If it is VLC, how do I get MJPG support?

(Ubuntu 12.04)

I don't know whether this is the best tool, but did you have look at Zoneminder?
