The RTSP command for this particular camera is: rtsp://username: numerous Google searches I have determined this should not be too difficult by using the ffmpeg utility. So I figured I could get much faster response from the camera if I were to grab a single frame out of the RTSP stream. I can get a single jpeg image by entering the following url in the RPi CLI:, however it takes several seconds for the camera to respond and the picture is useless because the car or person of interest is out of the field of view when the camera finally takes the picture. Project: I am attempting to capture a single frame from my driveway camera when a motion sensor is triggered. Sorry if this has been covered numerous times but I can't seem to get this to work.
