Hi,
I have been writing a bash script that would read image snapshots periodically from CCTV cameras.
So far Hikvision has been the easier one.
This url and this wget command seem to work nice. I activated a self signed HTTPS certificate that needed an extra option for wget.
wget --no-check-certificate --user "$username" --password "$password" "$url" -O "$image_dir/$filename"
where the url is:
https://<camera_address>/ISAPI/Streaming/Channels/101/picture

I haven't succeeded in finding anywhere a similar http command for Milesight UI-5D75-PCV.

Are there descriptions/documents for both brands that explain correct formats and their variations for this kind of application?.
