we use systemctl to install, and keep running, a capture_stills.py script. images are output to ~pi/capture/images/YMD/YMD_HMS.jpg

cd ~pi
git clone https://github.com/matpalm/bnn.git
cd bnn/rasp_pi/
sudo cp capture.service /lib/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl enable capture.service
sudo systemctl start capture.service

optionally have service started / stopped at 5am / 9pm by root crontab (no use capturing in the dark)

0 5 * * * systemctl start capture.service
0 21 * * * systemctl stop capture.service
