DVR Stream OK but how do I get a capture image

Configuration

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.

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