Configuration

When first opened, orange creates an orange_data/ folder next to the binary with the following structure:

orange_data
├── calib_yaml
├── config
│   ├── local
│   └── network
├── detect       # TensorRT engine files for real-time detection
├── exp
│   ├── calibration
│   └── unsorted # default save location for recordings
└── pictures     # camera-frame snapshots

There are two modes of using the application: local vs network. See Local mode and Network mode.

User config (optional)

A few defaults can be overridden by creating ~/.config/orange/config.json:

{
  "recording_folder": "/mnt/data/orange_recordings"
}

Recognized keys:

  • recording_folder — moves the recordings root (exp/unsorted, exp/calibration) out of orange_data/ and onto a different disk. The rest of orange_data/ (configs, calibration files, snapshots) stays where it is.
  • codec — default encoder. Either h264 (the default) or hevc.
