}, 300000)If your camera generates empty .mp4 files when recording, you might need to update its audio codec by passing in one usable by your camera (e.g.,
aac) in the Recorder's constructor. For example:
var rec = new Recorder({
url: 'rtsp://192.168.1.12:8554/unicast',
timeLimit: 60, // time in seconds for each segmented video file
folder: '/Users/sahilchaddha/Sahil/Projects/Github/node-rtsp-recorder/videos',
name: 'cam1',
audioCodec: 'aac'
})Recording Audio
const Recorder = require('node-rtsp-recorder').Recorder
var rec = new Recorder({
url: 'rtsp://192.168.1.12:8554/unicast',
timeLimit: 60, // time in seconds for each segmented video file
folder: '/Users/sahilchaddha/Sahil/Projects/Github/node-rtsp-recorder/videos',

type: 'audio',
})
rec.startRecording();
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Stopping Recording')
rec.stopRecording()
rec = null
}, 125000)Capturing Image
const Recorder = require('node-rtsp-recorder').Recorder
var rec = new Recorder({
url: 'rtsp://192.168.1.12:8554/unicast',

})Managing Media Directory
const FileHandler = require('../src/helpers/fileHandler')
const fh = new FileHandler()
// RETURNS DIRECTORY SIZE
fh.getDirectorySize('/Users/sahilchaddha/Sahil/Projects/Github/node-rtsp-recorder/videos/', (err, value) => {
if (err) {
console.log('Error Occured')
console.log(err)
return true
}
console.log('Folder Size is ' + value)
})
// REMOVES ALL MEDIA FILES
fh.removeDirectory('/Users/sahilchaddha/Sahil/Projects/Github/node-rtsp-recorder/videos/*', () => {
console.log('Done')
})Setting custom filename formats
const Recorder = require('node-rtsp-recorder').Recorder
