So I have been using this command for a while to make images on my Linux box. However noticed now there is some delays on my newer cameras. I normally don't capture this way with them so I have not noticed anything before now.
while :; do wget -O "$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S").jpg" http://admin:[email protected]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi; sleep 1; done
If I use this on my older Amcrest cameras I get a snapshot every time expected. However with the newer cameras I get one then I get 4 misses and another. The camera in question is rebooted nightly so isn't a reboot issue.
I know there is an issue of you have the system setup for snapshot every so often that the camera will timeout waiting for the time that is setup within the WebUI. This camera isn't setup that way so every second
What are you using to get snapshots from Linux
