camsnap

To capture still images from an RTSP camera stream, you can use a snapshot command that grabs single frames from the live feed. This Skill requires configuring your camera details in a local YAML file and having ffmpeg available on your system PATH.

Yes, you can record short video clips from ONVIF cameras automatically. The Skill supports event-driven recording, allowing you to schedule captures or trigger clips based on specific surveillance events defined in your configuration.

Motion detection for trapping camera frames works by watching the live camera stream for movement and automatically storing the captured media. When motion events occur, the system traps and saves the relevant frames or clips for surveillance review.

Before capturing RTSP or ONVIF camera feeds, you need ffmpeg installed on your system PATH and a local YAML configuration file at ~/.config/camsnap/config.yaml. This setup defines your camera connections and capture parameters for the surveillance workflow.

Yes, both ONVIF and RTSP protocols are supported for camera discovery and recording. The Skill includes a discover command to find cameras on your network and utilizes both protocols to stream and capture media for home or enterprise monitoring.

The best way to automate event-driven recording for surveillance cameras is using a watch command that monitors live streams for motion. This approach automatically traps and stores media locally when events occur, streamlining your monitoring workflow.
