Saving a Frame from an RTSP Stream, via Command Line

Postby spaceman5 » 28 Feb 2023 16:39

Hi all


I recently purchased a Security Camera,
and it provides an RTSP URL with which you can view the video.

If I run the command vlc rtsp://<IP>/etc
then VLC opens, and successfully shows the stream from the camera.


My question is:
Does VLC also provide some command line operation to Save one Image (one frame) from an RTSP Stream to disk?
(instead of showing VLC's window, and showing the stream)

That way I can run that command every 10 mins for example,
and have a kind of image log of what happened, every 10 minutes.


Thank you
