snapshot_interval

Make automated snapshots every 'snapshot_interval' seconds.

The snapshots are stored in the target directory + the directory/filename specified by the snapshot_filename option.

This is the traditional web camera feature where a picture is taken at a regular interval independently of motion in the picture.

I have experimented with hourly (3600s) and every other hour (7200s) snapshots, and find that they are created at the top of the hour (ie. minutes & seconds = 00 ).

Due to some shell scripts running at the top of the hour also, copying/moving etc, I would lose the top-of-the hour snapshots. It would be better for me, if the snapshots could be taken on the 30-minute of the hour. Is this possible?
