Capture frames or clips from RTSP/ONVIF cameras and local webcams, including USB pan/tilt/zoom control.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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`

Local webcams (macOS)

- List devices: `camsnap devices`
- Snapshot from a local camera: `camsnap snap --device 0 --out webcam.jpg`
- PTZ position and ranges: `camsnap ptz status --device 0`
- Move a gimbal camera: `camsnap ptz goto --device 0 --pan 45 --tilt -18`
- Also `camsnap ptz move` (relative deltas) and `camsnap ptz home`.

Notes

- Requires `ffmpeg` on PATH.
- Prefer a short test capture before longer clips.
- PTZ needs macOS Camera permission: these cameras only service UVC controls while streaming, so `camsnap` holds a capture session open for the operation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openclaw/nix-openclaw-tools/camsnap@sha256:53a7e4cb6c1903d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.cc4a48f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
