.config

; IMPORTANT: Unlike other RMS files, the '.config' file is never automatically
; updated. When changes are introduced to the config file in RMS, these changes
; will NOT be automatically reflected in the active '.config' file on 
; individual machines. Users should manually update their '.config' file if 
; changing any option from its default value is desired, or to simply stay 
; up-to-date. If an option is missing from the config file, a default value 
; will be automatically applied.
; An up-to-date template config '.configTemplate' file, containing the current
; options, is located in the RMS root directory.
; Run python -m Utils.AuditConfig to compare the .config file to the template.

[Capture]

; device URL
device: rtsp://192.168.42.10:554/user=admin&password=&channel=1&stream=0.sdp

; Transport Layer Protocol: 'tcp' or 'udp'. Defaults to tcp. UDP typically
; provides more stable connectivity, but TCP has a longer track record.
protocol: tcp

; Media Backend: options are gst, cv2, or v4l2.
; 'gst':    (default - preferred) GStreamer Standalone. Bypass OpenCV, and
;           provides the highest timestamps accuracy.
; 'cv2':    OpenCV method. Reliable but has poor timestamping performance. 
; 'v4l2':   OpenCV with v4l2, uses v4l2 hardware acceleration with OpenCV.
; If gst, or v4l2 return an error, the code reverts to cv2.
media_backend: gst

; Gstreamer color space to use. Only applicable if media_backend is gst.
; Examples: BGR, GRAY8

; Frames per second (FPS) are precisely calculated and reported at the end of
; each capture session when in GStreamer standalone mode. This information can
; be found in each session's log by searching for 'Last Calculated FPS'. Please
; update the value here with the log's reported value. The calculate FPS
; often differs from the nominal FPS, usually by less than 0.1%.
; Example: fps: 24.98122
fps: 25.0

; Camera Latency Settings for GStreamer Timestamps
; ------------------------------------------------
; The following two parameters correct for camera latency when in GStreamer
; Standalone mode. The settings are ignored when using other media_backend
; methods.
; The settings should be experimentally establishes for the specific setup.
; For example:  RPi4, IMX291, 720p @ 25 FPS, VBR
;               camera_buffer: 1
;               camera_latency: 0.05
; If timestamps are late, increase latency. If early, decrease latency.
; Formula is:
; corrected_timestamp = timestamp - camera_buffer / fps - total_latency
; camera_buffer corresponds to the number of frames in the camera's internal
; buffer. If these parameters are not present then RMS will use the default. 

; frames (integer). Default is 1
camera_buffer: 1

; delay in seconds. Default is 0.05 s (50 ms)
camera_latency: 0.05

; secondary data products such as calibration plots, all FF image files, and all
; FR files with raw fireball frames. This typically results in an archive of
; 100-500 MB in size. Some stations have limited data or bad internet
; connections, so a reduced data set can be uploaded to the server.
; Options:
; 1 - Normal mode. Everything is uploaded, including FF files with detections.
; 2 - Skip FFs. Everything except two FF files will be uploaded. One with the
;     most matched stars and another random one with a meteor detection.
