Camera Snapshot/Video

Hi,
Great work, really awesome.
I have a question about the reactor plugin. which activity is used for cameras to take snapshots and videos? is this possible? or do I need to call a scene?

If there’s an action you can run against the camera device to do it, Reactor can do it. But I can’t tell you what that might be.

Specifically, one would use Reactor’s HTTP REQUEST ► GET activity to execute such a call to your camera or NVR. But as Rigpapa already pointed out, the format and type of call to be made varies so widely from camera to camera, and manufacturer to manufacturer, that it’s impossible to guess what your setup requires.

Good luck! Let us know what you discover after further testing.
