like. it fetches. images. from cameras. the name is not subtle and we love that for it. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ifetch CONFIG_PATH

that's it. one argument. no cap. 🫢


🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

ifetch is the image collection tool of ifetch-tools.

and what is ifetch-tools, you ask? it's a whole set of tools whose entire job is to collect, monitor, and view images from IP Cameras. it's giving surveillance-but-make-it-organized. the pipeline is literally: grab the pics, watch the pics, look at the pics. periodt. πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

lowkey this section is short but it matters, so listen up:

  • ifetch needs a single option, and that option is a camera config file β€” specifically one that lives at /etc/ifetch-tools/cameras/camera_num.conf. ⭐
fr fr: it's one config file per camera, and that path is the whole vibe. don't come at it with zero arguments, bestie, it will simply not know which camera you mean. πŸ’€
