Delay video in python

asked 2016-08-12 08:26:43 -0600

I am trying to delay a video feed, I am very new to programming but am jumping right in. I can display the video from the camera but I want a delay between the camera and the display.

Many thanks

clarify "delay":

like, showing what happened 5 seconds ago ?

import time
time.sleep(5)   # Delays for 5 seconds. You can also use a float value.

Here is another example of python sleep() where something is run approximately once a minute:

import time
while True:
    print("This prints once a minute.")
    time.sleep(60) # Delay for 1 minute (60 seconds).
