DVR Stream OK but how do I get a capture image

Hi

I have had the stream working for a while now but never tested the capture but now I am hoping to use the capture image.

I have a DVR and the cameras are NOT IP cameras. So whats the best command for the still_image_url: please ?

  - platform: generic
    name: Streaming Enabled
    still_image_url: http://192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/currentpic.cgi
    stream_source: rtsp://192.168.0.20:8554/user=USERNAME_password=PASSWORD_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream
    verify_ssl: false
    scan_interval: 5

That would depend on the make and model of your DVR.

Which you have not told us.

Hi, Sorry. Its the H.View 4 channel DVR.

Click on the 4Ch DVR links and fill in the details to generate the required URLs for streaming or JPJ image capture.

Thank you. I will have a look when with my laptop.
