Is there a way to alternate the image capture between two Pi cameras

[Astro-Stuff]

I would love to be able to hook two Pi cameras and capture from one pointing to the sky during the night and from one pointing to my property during the day. Is it possible to swap the capture from one camera to another?

The reason is, my camera is in a remote area and I would love to see timelapses with animal activity during the day.

There's no automated way to do this. Allsky can handle multiple cameras, but not running at the same time. You'd have to stop Allsky when night begins, then swap settings files and overlay files, then restart Allsky. Ditto when daytime begins. You could create a script to do this then use the Module Manager to call the script twice a day.

If the cameras were not identical then keograms and timelapse wouldn't work, but you could work around this with some clever programming.

Thanks for the reply, can you please let me know the files I need to swap?
Thanks

What are the brand and model of your cameras?
