Best settings to capture still image of visitors?

Trying to get an email of visitors to my door.
Keep getting emails of photo with nobody there.
What settings do you use with respect to delays etc to capture visitors while at your door?

Since motion detection can be triggered by rapid changes in lighting condition, as well as by moving objects, you can set the area or areas of the video or image to be examined, and adjust the sensitivity of detection for each area. Then after setting the sensitivity area, you may set the motion detection trigger. You may play around with it's interval so that it won't be sending out blank images or video even though no one's there.
Hope this helps.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

  • TS4436 hi, when zooming in to capture still images, the image is really blurred and out of focus. is this a hardware issue and is there any solution for this?? or is my device faulty?

    If you are using the iPhone camera zoom then remember that this is a digital zoom not an optical zoom. The zoomed in area will have fewer pixels and not appear as clear. The more you zoom the worse it gets. It's like cropping a picture after it has been taken.

  • Capturing still images using IDVD

    Hi
    Is it possible for me to play a personal DVD and capture still images from the movie that is being played, and then save the images, for either putting on a DVD/CD or printing them? if so how is this possible?

    Thanks in advance

    sure, with the usual screencapture shortcuts -3, -4, -4-space etc.
    but you have to use VLC as player, due to DVDplayer.app prohibits any captures.

    your Mac came pre-installed with iDVD...

  • How do I capture still images with iSight?

    Is that possible. Do I need software to do this?
    Please help

    Hello, Judith,
    iSight needs software to do ANYTHING.
    Several apps that you can use to capture still images are listed in the Some Applications you can use with iSight FAQ, starting with iChat AV.
    The iChat AV menu command for a video snapshot is shown right at the top. You just need to have the Video Preview (My iSight) window active to do it.

  • Capturing still images along with stream

    Is it possible to capture still images along with a video stream?  We want to use the still images as "teasers" on the site to entice people to view the live video streams.  I don't see an obvious way to do it.  Maybe somebody's come up with a decent workaround?  We can't be the only site needing this feature...
    -Jason

    Thanks, folks.  I was pretty sure the software couldn't do it; I had hoped somebody might have come up with a quick-and-dirty hack around it.  We're currently using Digital Rapids Stream to encode, and this is an option in the software.  We're transitioning to FMLE, and I need to preserve this capability.
    I've filed a feature request, but I'm sure that even if Adobe likes it, we won't see that feature for 12 months.  So I'll have to come up with an interim solution.  I'm looking at a number of options: grabbing stills from the F4V using ffmpeg (works great until the F4V gets to be more than a few minutes long, at which point ffmpeg is prohibitively slow), or dedicating a capture device to just grabbing still frames (obviously, that's a bit expensive).
    If anybody out there has already solved this problem, I'd love to hear about it!

  • Best setting for using still images for 16:9 format

    When using still images in FCP, what is the best setting to keep the images from stretching or warping when exported to be shown on a 16:9 format?

    Put them in a 16:9 sequence (is there any other way?) If they are distorted upon import, you can change their distort settings under "Distort" in the Motion tab of the Viewer. 33.33 is a good number to start with.

  • Sequence A/V settings for imported still images

    I want to create a HD DVD containing a slideshow of still images with some transitions, title and ending pages and sound.
    Question: What A/V Sequence settings do I need to choose for a PAL 1920x1080 25fps output?
    Background:
    Till now I've done the editing in iMovie HD 5.0.2. My journey ends with a QT export to a HD-mov file (1920x1080@30fps) which I am not able to author in the same quality with iDVD 5.0.1.
    Since I can not purchase DVD Studio Pro as a separate package, I have lavished myself with the full FCP box
    Now having the most advance tools I feel somewhat swamped in the number of formats & options.
    I want to use FCP as editor and DVDSP as authoring program.
    My workflow goal is to do all the editing in HD and in the authoring fase create a HD master and as SD copy for non HD-DVD-player-owners.
    Experiences so far:
    1) iMovie HD can output a 1920x1080@30fps mov file. iDVD in PAL mode! converts this file to a NTSC image of 720x480 with an aspect ratio of 4:30. So much for all the creativity in iMovie HD.
    2) Files created in FCP 5.1 using various 1080i50 Sequences all having the HDV 1080i50 Compressor, all give 4:3 results in iDVD
    2a) Frame: 1920x1080
    Aspect ratio: HDTV 1080i (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Compressor HDV 1080i50
    QT display: correct width display
    2b) Frame: 1440x1080
    Aspect ratio: HD (1440x1080) (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (1440x1080)
    Compressor HDV 1080i50
    QT display: picture strechted in width
    2c) Frame: 1440x1080
    Aspect ratio: HD (1440x1080) (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Compressor HDV 1080i50
    QT display: picture narrowed in width
    So what is the magic A/V sequence?
    All hints and tips welcome

    Patrick & Shane,
    thanks for both your inputs.
    Both, I believe, need to be told that your clip is 16:9 -
    not sure how to do this in iDVD HD, but it's an
    inspector checkbox in DVDSP...
    Guess the common demeanor is that I can set my A/V settings to 1920x1080, but that I need to tell DVDSP that the source material is 16:9.
    In iDDVD there is no such option ... but the funny thing is that my 16:9 output from iMovie HD did display in the correct aspect ratio in iDVD and my 16:9 output from FCP did produce a 4:3 aspect ratio in iDVD (ahum).
    You might try the DVCPRO HD 1080i50 codec. Compressed
    HD, but not too bad. And the drive requirements aren't
    too high. Firewire 800 or internal SATA drive will do
    you. As will a SATA Raid.
    Not sure what difference it makes when using either HDV 1080i50 or DVCPRO HD 1080i50 codec ... when I do not intend to output back to tape.
    In my case I believe (but correct me if I am wrong) the output codec is of lesser importance, since I want to author to HD DVD and HD DVD has its own specific coding specs.
    Not many HD DVD players out there....and those are
    EXPENSIVE...plus there are competing formats. How do you
    intend to exhibit this DVD?
    Initially I will exhibit my HD DVD on my G5. For "common folks" I will re-author in SD (unfortunately Hybrid red laser discs with both a HD and SD project are no longer supported).
    I do believe HD DVD players will standardise and become more common ... so my original HD editing will not be in vain. Part of the fun is to use the FCP tools in a challenging (and rewarding) way.
    What drives me: Last year my wife and I went on a holiday to Spitsbergen. That is half way between the North Pole and Norway. With a sailing boat we circumvented the archipello. I shot 15Gb of RAW images. The environment has left such an impression that I want to create a superb quality slideshow attesting to the uniqueness of the location. This asks for HD and nothing less.
    And Yes, an HD DVD player will cost a lot, but so does a trip to Spitsbergen

  • Best way to Capture Single Images

    What is considered best practice:
    To take a still image with your Camcorder or to take one with a digital camera instead? Does it matter?
    Thanks!

    best for stills is a designated still-cam.. e.g. a Canon SD Mk II has 20Megapix, a fullsize 'CCD' and optics for >1k$ .. that is far beyond the features of any HiDef consumer camcorder..
    allthough..
    I bought a Nikon D50 2y ago - superb camera, superb optics. but.. do I need that quality.. ? latest HD/SDcard camcorders (e.g. Canon HF200) offer 2Mpixel stills WHILE recording FullHD video.. with a device, half/third the size of my Nikon.. and I carry my ol' Sony Camcorder with me too ...
    so, for my everyday, 'Day In The Zoo' Projects, I consider to sell the Nikon and invest into a handy new one...

  • Best settings for taking still frame pictures from video?

    My project file has been converted to .avi and uses mp3 sound.
    I like to take still shots from the action portions of the video,
    but of the three options under frame hold: (hold on, deinterlace, and hold filters) which are the best to use?
    are there other settings i should use when trying to unblur these images?
    ps i searched the entire forum for a quick topic and came up empty.
    Thanks!!!

    Just pause your timeline on the frame you want and click the 'Freeze Frame' icon.
    Select Export from the dialog box that shows. You now have your typical file save box - select Settings.
    Now use the drop down on 'File Type' and pick your preferred format. For a lossless image use BMP or TIFF.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • Capturing still image in imovie 7 event

    Can you capture a still photo image and print picture with high resolution from an imovie event file

    This is one of the things which appears to be currently missing from iMovie 10.  The easiest workaround would be to take a screenshot of the viewer after setting it to full screen.   See also:

  • Best settings for exporting stills from video?

    i've exported still frames to photoshop as tiff,jpeg,and photoshop format and still end up get those horizontal lines on the contours of some elements of the still-like the ones we see while reviewing a QT movie-i've been unsuccessful with the export options and resoerted to pixel correction to correct the problem--is there another way?--thanks

    Hello Brian,
    Have you tried de-interlacing before exporting?
    Sometimes, when I'm in a rush, I would expand the Canvas/Viewer (viewed at 100%), pick the clearest frame, and do a screen capture.
    For example, with the captured image (in Photoshop), I have a marquee preset at 640x480 (NTSC). I created an action to crop, resize to 720x480, then set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to NTSC.
