Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.4

Hi there,

 

I see that we can now get the RTSP stream / ONVIF

https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2680/

 

Can we obtain a JPEG snapshot somehow?  via an internal web server maybe?

@Nick2 @alanchow It can be done via a tool called ffmpeg, which takes a snapshot from the stream. I use it to take a snapshot every 15 minute to eventually create a time lapse (on my Raspberry Pi, but it can also be done in Windows I suppose).

 

This is the command line I use:

 

ffmpeg  -i "rtsp://username:password@ipaddress/stream1" -f image2 -vframes 1 -pix_fmt yuvj420p output.jpg

I hope this helps.

@alanchow 

Hello, I'm afraid that there is no option to obtain a JPEG snapshot directly.

 

You can take the screenshot manually and switch the type to JPEG.

 

May it help.

@Kevin_Z I think that it would be very useful to have the option to obtain a jpeg from the camera by accessing a http endpoint url. That way an integration in several other systems would be much easier. :)

@alie2n 

 

This would be very handy for Integration with other platforms. I really hope there will be a way to do this in a future update. It would be good to have a snapshot when it detects movement.

@Brook 

 

Yes, we also need the snapshot possibility as mjpeg via http-URL to implement the live-view picture into the Fritz!Box network.

@Brook please, the ability to get snapshots via a http call is essential for me, I want to photo wildlife when triggered by a variety of home-built sensors (using node-red as the automation hub).
