Milady camsnap

Capture frames or clips from RTSP/ONVIF cameras. Grabs snapshots, video clips, and motion events from IP cameras, security cameras, and video streams. Use when the user wants to take a snapshot from a camera, record a clip from an RTSP stream, monitor motion on a security camera, discover ONVIF devices on the network, or configure camera access for automated surveillance capture.
