I don't use any automation. The judge starts and ends the recording.
I used a 30fps camera but now I've bought a new 60fps to try to get better detail. The 30fps camera will be installed pointed at the athlete bib so we can be sure that that image is from that athlete.

Are you sure it has to be fully automated? Why not have the judge/secretary just pressing a button to record?

I've done this several times in competition.
We have a standard USB camera and an operator to start/stop the recording.
The analysis is done and saved in one PC and we have an external monitor available for the athletes with another instance of Kinovea with the replay Folder observer always open.
It works pretty nice and simple.

I am wondering if it is possible to pull a RTSP stream through from a camera, i noticed you are able to get images from a h t t p stream but the cameras i am using does not support this.

I have been trying to get this to work on main stream and sub streams, using the rtsp user:password@ip/stream which is similar to the http address required.

Is this something that would available in future a future release?

Hi
I'm using Kinovea for the same purpose and it works wonderfully!
I'm not sure if you need 260fps since the FinishLynx use their IdentiLynx IP camera and it only outputs 30fps maximum!
Until this moment we use a standard external webcam but the computer must be near the jumping board.
Next weekend we will try with an IP camera and can back here to give my opinion on it.

Hi, I'm thinking on using something like the StreamDeck Mini but I think a wireless keyboard will suffice.

Would be helpful to always have a "Recording" indication (blinking red circle??) and not only at the start/end of recording.

I would like 2 capture windows +1 replay folder observer.
Now I'm opening another instance of the software for the replay.
