About
Camsnap is a skill that drives the camsnap command-line tool to capture snapshots, clips, and motion events from RTSP/ONVIF cameras. A developer uses it to add or discover cameras, take a still image, record a short clip, or watch for motion and trigger an action. It relies on the camsnap binary and ffmpeg being installed. It is useful for automating camera capture from an agent.
- Wraps the camsnap CLI to grab snapshots, clips, and motion events from cameras
- Supports RTSP/ONVIF camera discovery and per-camera config
- Requires the camsnap binary and ffmpeg on PATH
