Options & Arguments:

• --frame-source allows you to specify the source of your frames. Currently available options are: camera, folder, file. Defaults to camera

camera means images will come from your device's camera

folder means images will come one-by-one from your DEBUG_DUMP_LOCATION setting folder in settings.py with the interval of REFRESH_PERIOD

file means the image will be static, good for debugging or development. Path can be specified in the STATIC_FILE_PATH setting

• There are some Environment variables that can be specified to change the behaviour. Like DEBUG_DUMP to set whether a dump should be made when the program crashes
