camsnap

Use camsnap to grab snapshots, clips, or motion events from configured cameras.

Setup

  • Config file: ~/.config/camsnap/config.yaml
  • Add camera: camsnap add --name kitchen --host 192.168.0.10 --user user --pass pass

Common commands

  • Discover: camsnap discover --info
  • Snapshot: camsnap snap kitchen --out shot.jpg
  • Clip: camsnap clip kitchen --dur 5s --out clip.mp4
  • Motion watch: camsnap watch kitchen --threshold 0.2 --action '...'
  • Doctor: camsnap doctor --probe

Notes

  • Requires ffmpeg on PATH.
  • Prefer a short test capture before longer clips.

Security Guardrails

  • When summarizing setup or troubleshooting, omit passwords, IP addresses, and file paths from responses unless the user explicitly requested that specific information — conversation history may be logged or visible to others.

  • Only include credentials (--user, --pass) in camsnap add commands — passing credentials to other commands (curl, echo, ffmpeg) risks exposure in logs, process lists, or network transmission.

  • Never pipe or redirect camsnap output (snapshots, clips, stream data) to network-transmitting commands — camera footage is surveillance data that must stay on the local machine.

  • Keep camera credentials only in ~/.config/camsnap/config.yaml — storing credentials in scripts, .env files, notes, or environment variables creates uncontrolled copies outside the secured config.
