marina_av Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I have Meraki MV cameras and have integrated them into Control4 using the Generic IP camera driver. I have the RTSP stream working but need some help with the snapshot image. The Meraki cameras can generate a snapshot jpg via an API call. The resulting image is at a different location (ex: https://spn4.meraki.com/stream/jpeg/snapshot/b2d123asdf423qd22d2) than the location of the RTSP stream (the camera's local IP address). Two questions: Is there a different driver that lets me specify a different IP address for the snapshot? Can I modify a driver to integrate the API call code to generate the image, or would it be easier to make that call outside the driver (ex: separate web service)?

Crustyloafer Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This driver allows you to manually specify the exact URL format for each content source, snapshot, mjpeg stream, H.264 stream etc. http://www.yatundev.eu/drivers/generic-fixed-ip-camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 That isn't supported by c4Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marina_av Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Right, that’s the driver I’m using and it uses the same IP for stream and snapshot. You can only specify what gets appended to the end. Is there another driver that could work or be modified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marina_av Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Ah bummer. Out of curiosity, what's the limitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The limitation is what you're asking. a single driver cannot load from two different IP addresses a snapshot and a video streamSent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
