JPEG URL Request
This may be a strange request, so I will give some background. I would like to use my HM203 to create a time laps video of my 3d printer printing. I am using software called Octoprint and it can handle the creation process as long as it has access to a URL that can provide a still image (JPG) from the camera.
The HM203 can produce great images for both daytime and nighttime images (using the app).
I saw a post requesting the URL for both JPEG and RTMP. I can get RTMP working juts fine (tested using VLC). The response didn't include the JPEG request.
I have tried http://<ipaddress of the camea/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?chn=1&u=admin&p= but it returns "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". I have tried other variations, playing with the parameters with the same response. I have even tried just ending at the snapshot.cgi.
What is the URL to grab a real-time still image from the camera?

Hello @kd7hhw ,
thanks for your question.
The device does not support taking screenshots of the live broadcast through URL;
if you have such a requirement, please take a screenshot when viewing the rtsp live broadcast in VLC,
and then save and upload it to a fixed location;
or download the alarm picture in the APP to the phone and upload it to Fixed position, then print it out.
