NBMrec

Daemon recorder for nocturnal bird migration

Install

sudo make install

sudo systemctl disable --now nbmrec.timer

sudo make uninstall

In ./usr/local/etc/nbmrec/nbmrec.conf, you can specify a start and end time:

START_TIME=22:00
END_TIME=06:00

If you change the start date, you should update the systemd timer nbmrec.timer accordingly:

#/etc/systemd/system/nbmrec.timer
[...]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 22:00
[...]

Do not forget to reload systemd daemon after that:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

You could also prefer modify ./conf/nbmrec.conf, and run make install after each modification.

You can set an other output folder for your records:

RECORD_DIR=/mnt/DATA/media/records

Or a filename prefix for your recordings:

PREFIX=nbmrec

This way, the records filename will be in the form nbmrec_20220630_220000.wav.

Enjoy !
