TP-Link Tapo C200
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.

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.

Thanks can i request that you guys add a HTTP endpoint for snapshots? Need this functinoality to complete integration to Control4.

@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. :)

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.

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

Yes, I'm also looking for a direct url for a jpg screen grap. Please keep us posted
when this is available via firmware update. [In fact I need it for the C100]

@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).
