## RTSP Stream Capture from IP Camera using OpenCV

IP cameras support Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) to control audio and video streaming. This is an example of capturing an RTSP stream from an IP camera using OpenCV and Python.

## Requirements for Python

- opencv-python
- threading
- datetime
- argparse
- datetime

## Requirements for C++

- cmake 
- ninja-build 
- libopencv-dev 
- libboost-all-dev

## Python Usage

Example: ``python rtsp_video_downloader.py --cam_list 1 4 --fps 1 --end-time 5``
Running from terminal 

``` 
python rtsp_record.py 
```

## C++ Usage

Create a CMake Configuration 'CMakeLists.txt' (already present in the project).
Generate Build Files with CMake 

```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja ..

```
## Build the project with

`ninja`
