camsnap

To capture a snapshot from an RTSP or ONVIF camera, you can use a capturing tool to take a single still image directly from the live video feed. This process requires ffmpeg for media processing and a configured camera setup file.

Yes, you can record short video clips from your IP camera feed. By initiating clip recording on the RTSP or ONVIF stream, the tool captures a designated duration of video, which is then processed via ffmpeg to produce a viewable video file.

Motion detection with ONVIF and RTSP cameras works by monitoring the video feed for changes using configurable thresholds. When motion is detected, the system can trigger specific actions, such as capturing a snapshot or recording a video clip.

Yes, ffmpeg is required to capture video clips from an RTSP stream. It serves as the underlying media processing engine needed to decode the camera feed and encode the output into a playable video or image file format.

Setting up an RTSP camera for motion-triggered snapshot capture requires a ~/.config/camsnap/config.yaml file for camera setup. This configuration file defines your camera connections and the motion detection thresholds needed to trigger image capture.

Yes, you can trigger a snapshot recording only when motion is detected. By configuring motion detection thresholds within your camera setup, the system monitors the feed and automatically captures a still image when movement occurs.
