Axmjpeg software can extract JPEG images from an MJPEG source, which is transmitted over HTTP.
The Axmjpeg application is a powerful tool for retrieving JPEG images from an MJPEG over HTTP stream. It is designed to work specifically with cameras that conform to the Axis Video API, HTTP Interface Specification, Revision 2.x. However, it also supports Revision 1.x of the specification, as long as the optional "Content-Length:" header is enabled.
This software was originally written for 'cammgr', a web camera management software available from Axis. It allows cammgr to support a wide range of Axis network cameras. But, there are many other potential uses for axmjpeg as well.
The manual page provides a detailed list of functionality, but some of the highlights include saving JPEG images to the same file (optionally renamed), saving each JPEG image to a unique file, piping JPEG images to shell commands for additional processing, and time-based capturing where only one image per a specified interval will be selected for processing.
Axmjpeg was developed on FreeBSD but has been tested on a wide range of Unix systems, including several Linux variants, HP-UX, Tru64, and SunOS.
The latest release includes several new features. The image-fetching code has been extended to support the TRENDnet Internet Camera Server. The URL parser now accepts the "basic authorization" encoding. Additionally, a new option has been added to limit the number of image files created. Overall, Axmjpeg is a versatile tool that is well-suited for a variety of applications.
