Recording Video of an Event

asked 2019-08-16 10:31:49 -0600

Hello,

I am a test engineer and I am performing a continuous test on a product. I am reading a parameter of the product from a sensor and when that parameter is within a certain range the test fails.

It test has been failing only at night when no one is around.

I want to setup a camera to record the failure event. I would like to use some kind of USB camera and continuously record video and save video ONLY when the event occurs. In other words, save the video 5 seconds before the event until 5 seconds after the event.

I want to create a Python script to do this. Is are there any tutorials for how accomplish this? Thank you!

Currently for the test, I am using a programming language called LabVIEW to automate the test. My plan is to create this video recording python script and then use LabVIEW to call this script.
