yidashcam 0.8

Web Application

To use the web application, run: python -m yidashcam webapp (requires Flask-Bootstrap). This hosts a local web app accessible via your web browser, allowing browsing of the dashcam’s stored video and modification of the dashcam’s settings.

Command Line

There are three command line based tools:

• python -m yidashcam config displays the current dashcam settings and allows changing of these settings.

• python -m yidashcam stream puts the dashcam in a mode to allow live streaming from the dash camera.

• python -m yidashcam snapshot takes a photo with the dashcam and saves it in current directory or specified file.

Library

An example of using yidashcam (sync emergency clips to current folder):

import os
import yidashcam

with yidashcam.YIDashcam() as yi:
    print("Serial number: {}".format(yi.serial_number))
    for emr_file in yi.emergency_list:
        if not os.path.exists(emr_file.name):
            print("Fetching {}...".format(emr_file.path))
            with open(emr_file.name, 'wb') as local_file:
                for data in yi.get_file(emr_file):
                    local_file.write(data)

Another example (setting a config value, taking a photo and downloading it to the current folder):

import yidashcam

with yidashcam.YIDashcam() as yi:
    yi.set_config(yidashcam.config.Option.photo_resolution,
                  yidashcam.config.PhotoResolution.r1920x1080)
    yi.take_photo()
    photo = sorted(yi.photo_list)[-1]
    with open(photo.name, 'wb') as local_file:
        for data in yi.get_file(photo):
            local_file.write(data)
