Per @TimelessP’s request, here’s so more Python code that can be used for time-lapse photography.
It’s code I wrote to take surveillance pictures from IP-cameras:
You have to update 2 config files with the data of your IP-cameras: vs.config and credentials.config. Fields in the config files are tab-separated.
vs.config contains the IP cameras, example:
Hall.jpg http://192.168.1.1/IMAGE.JPG -
First field is the prefix for the name when saving the picture (suffix is a timestamp). Second field is the URL to access the picture on the IP camera (depends on the model your using). Third field is a fixed name for the picture, use a hyphen (-) if not used.
credentials.config contains the passwords to access the IP-cameras, example:
192.168.1.1 admin password

I did something similar using curl and a Windows batch script. I used to use it for my web cam (when I had something interesting to point the web cam at) to push the latest photo to the website.
