IP Cameras CGI API

Richard

Good morning

In another thread I asked if it was possible to take snapshots externally so it could be launched for example from a cron job taking pictures at specific intervals...

Interestingly the only answer I received that there a specific cameras who store interval shots onto SD card...but that was not my question at all (o;

Oddly Reolink has a support entry for this....but not fully documented...

What works for me so far is (with a RLC-520):

wget -O image.jpg "http://192.168.178.46/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&&user=admin&password=password&width=800&height=600"

You can leave out the snap_width/snap_height parameters to get a full resolution snapshot.

here are a lot more cgi-bin commands available....but no documentation available....
I'll list some more if I've found something new (o;

cheers
