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.

# ambient-record.sh <cam-name> — continuous ambient audio recorder.
#
# Records RTSP audio in AMBIENT_CHUNK_SECS chunks, saves to:
# AMBIENT_DIR/<cam>/YYYY-MM-DD/HH-MM-SS.m4a
#
# Files are named by the recording start time so the collection is easy to
# browse and pick from for white-noise / nature sound playback.
#
# Runs as a permanent systemd service (Type=simple) alongside capture.sh.
# Reconnects automatically if the camera stream drops.
# Applies rolling retention (AMBIENT_RETENTION_DAYS).
#
# Camera audio is typically 8 kHz mono (phone quality) — suitable for bird
# song, rain, wind, and ambient nature sounds; check your camera's web
# interface for a higher sample rate setting if available.
