Claude dbdd59677f Per-camera capture interval; ambient recorder; fix 4-seasons one-frame bug
Per-camera capture interval:
  CAPTURE_INTERVAL_<cam> in sky-cam.conf overrides the global value for
  a specific camera.  capture.sh and 4-seasons.sh both respect it.
  Example: south at 30s saves storage; north at 5s gives smoother motion.

4-seasons.sh one-frame bug fix:
  Same root cause as the sunrise scripts — concat list had no 'duration'
  entries, collapsing all JPEG frames to timestamp 0.  Fixed by writing
  'duration INTERVAL' per frame.  Added fps=25 to the speed-adjust step
  so the VFR source resamples to a standard frame rate.

ambient-record.sh (new):
  Continuous AAC recorder for natural sounds (birds, rain, wind).
  Saves AMBIENT_CHUNK_SECS chunks to AMBIENT_DIR/<cam>/YYYY-MM-DD/HH-MM-SS.m4a.
  Reconnects automatically on stream failure.  Rolling retention via
  AMBIENT_RETENTION_DAYS.  Enabled by setting AMBIENT_ENABLED=true and
  listing cameras in AMBIENT_CAMS in sky-cam.conf, then re-running install.sh.

# capture.sh <cam-name> — continuous JPEG frame capture from a camera's RTSP
# stream. Replaces MotionEye or any NVR for sky-cam's timelapse pipeline.
# Pure ffmpeg — no NVR software required.
#
# Run as a long-running systemd service (Type=simple), one per camera.
# install.sh generates sky-cam-capture-<cam>.service automatically when
# CAM_RTSP_<cam> is set in sky-cam.conf.
#
# Writes: BASE_DIR/<cam>/YYYY-MM-DD/HH-MM-SS.jpg
# Restarts ffmpeg at midnight so images land in the correct date directory.
# On camera disconnect, waits 30 s then reconnects automatically.
