Using FUSE to store RaspiVid video files remotely

 In working with the Raspberry Camera Module and the supplied RaspiCam utilities, it became desirable to store capture video data files somewhere besides the local filesystem of the Raspberry Pi devices.  The solution most immediately presenting itself was to utilize the sshfs utility to create a FUSE mount of a user-accessible directory on a centralized mass-storage server.

Prerequisites:

1.  sshfs installed on Raspberry Pi
2.  server is running ssh
3.  pi has server account
4.  pi has generated ssh ID
5.  pi has ID loaded in active ssh-key-agent
6. server pi acct has pi ID in authorized keys list

Server user account is:  pi

Server directory to mount:  /home/pi/Videos

Local directory to mount on:  ./Videos

Cmd: 

   sshfs pi@server.nym:/home/pi/Videos ./Videos

With the mount in place, we can ...

cd Videos
raspivid -o ./raspivideo.h264 -n -k

to store a segment of video to the remote server's file system.

RaspiCam Docs TBD

In the section describing the --exposure parameter to the raspicam programs (raspistill, raspivid, etc), the rPiCamDoc contains the following statement

Note that not all of these settings may be implemented,
depending on camera tuning.

TBD

How can it be determined which of the --exposure options are supported by a given camera?

Detail

--exposure, -ex     Set exposure mode
    Possible options are:
        off
        auto        Use automatic exposure mode
        night       Select setting for night shooting
        nightpreview
        backlight   Select setting for back lit subject
        spotlight
        sports      Select setting for sports (fast shutter etc)
        snow        Select setting optimised for snowy scenery
        beach       Select setting optimised for beach
        verylong    Select setting for long exposures
        fixedfps,   Constrain fps to a fixed value
        antishake   Antishake mode
        fireworks   Select settings

Note that it states else where in the document that the antishake mode is NOT currently implemented (as of 2014-06-10 || the date of publication of the document).

TBD

What are the "date of publication" and "last modified" dates for RaspiCamDocs.pdf?
