![]() If you need more advanced features, we recommend programming your own image save program based on our example programs in Python or C++.įor advanced video saving we recommend the following programs: Our free GalaxyView software has basic functionality for saving images. Recommendation for saving videos and capturing images using an industrial camera Set the “Save one image out of every capture image” to 3600 (1 hr= 3600s so 1 image every hour).Mind that if storage is full, the plugin will stop acquiring and will not overwrite older frames. We will program the plugin to run 24 hours and stop, saving in total 24 pictures. In this example we explain how to save an image from an industrial camera every hour for in total 24h to create a 24h timelapse. In that case you must reduce the framerate, change different file format saving or use a more powerful pc.Įxample, saving 24h timelapse images using an industrial camera If the number of hard disk frames is lower than the Memory frames, images are lost and not every captured image was saved. The hard disk frames shows how many images are sent to the hard disk. The memory frame shows the number of images captured to the memory. In this field you can see if your pc is powerful enough to record all the images / videos in realtime. Message of the videos and Images Save Plugin So, if you record 10 seconds at 90fps, the video is saved as a video of 30 seconds on 30fps. For example, if you capture images at 90fps (camera frame rate) and you set the custom framerate of 30fps, the video will be played slower with a factor 90/30=3. Custom framerate -> you can set a lower framerate for the saved video. JPG, 30fps, the framerate of the saved video is the same framerate as the framerate of the captured images. We recommend this file format if saving at max 5fps is acceptable. The compression is lossless, so ideal for image processing in a later stage. Every image is compressed and takes therefore a lot of CPU power. PNG, 5fps, 0.7mb, lossless compression. Ideal for saving images on high speed but for a limited amount of time as the hard drive gets full very quickly. The max capturing frame rate for each format in this setup, without losing any frame are: In our test setup we use a 1.6MP Mono camera and a laptop with I5 processor (10th generation), 8GB memory and SSD from the year 2020. ![]() Depending on the amount of images you want to save per second, different formats are recommended. Save image option to save images from an industrial camera ![]() In this part you can choose either Save Image or Save video. Save File settings of the Videos and Images Save Plugin. Maximum number of frames -> stops image capturing when this number is reached.ĭuration -> you can choose how long the plugin will run, seconds minutes or hours. Unlimited -> No limit (until storage is full, plugin will stop when no more space available) ![]() This option lets you decide the total amount of time the plugin will run, or the total amount of frames that will be saved. Limit the number of frames or duration recording/saving. File save path, this is the location where the images or videos are saved. Number of memory, the amount of images that are buffered into the memory. ![]() With this plugin captured images can be saved as images in different formats or even as a video file.īase parameter for videos and Images Save Plugin Go to Plugin->Videos and Images Save Plugin as shown in the screenshot below.Run the program Daheng Galaxy Viewer(圆4).Install our GalaxySDK ( Download drivers and manuals).Within our free Galaxy SDK for our industrial cameras, we offer a basic plugin to save captured images to the hard drive or to save the captured images as a video.In this article we explain the different settings and the settings we advise for capturing and saving images and videos using our industrial camera. ![]()
