Question: How does neolink affect battery consumption? #360

How does neolink affect battery consumption?

I want to only capture images every 10 minutes. I'm planning to run neolink on my raspberry, grabbing image with ffmpeg and sending the image to my S3 bucket.

To save webcam battery, does it make sense to run reolink only while caputing the image and stopping it when the image is saved?

You should perhaps check out the image save command on my fork. That is what it is made for. You can script it quite easily to pull a frame as a jpeg every few mins
