Uploading Snapshots to Google

This is an optional feature that will automatically store every snapshot taken to your Google Drive account as a photo. This is very useful if you have motion sensor in the same room as the camera, as it will take a snapshot of whatever caused the motion sensor to trigger, and store the image on Google Drive and create a Picture Notification on your iOS device.
The snapshots are stored in a folder called "Camera Pictures", and are named with camera name, date and time of the image.
To enable this feature, please add a new config option "uploader", and follow the steps below.
- Add the option "uploader" to your config.json i.e.
{
"platform": "Camera-ffmpeg",
"cameras": [
{
"name": "Camera Name",
"uploader": true,
"videoConfig": {
"source": "-re -i rtsp://myfancy_rtsp_stream",
"stillImageSource": "-i http://faster_still_image_grab_url/this_is_optional.jpg",
"maxStreams": 2,
"maxWidth": 1280,
"maxHeight": 720,
"maxFPS": 30,
"vcodec": "h264_omx"
}
}
]
}
If the option is missing, it defaults to false, and does not enable the uploader.
- For the setup of Google Drive, please follow the Google Drive Quickstart for Node.js instructions from here except for these changes.
