camsnap

A command-line tool for capturing snapshots, video clips, and motion events from RTSP or ONVIF security cameras. RTSP and ONVIF are common standards for streaming and controlling network cameras.

In plain words
What is it for?
Discovering cameras, taking snapshots, recording short clips, watching for motion, and checking camera setup; it requires ffmpeg for media processing.
Why use it?
It lets an agent collect camera footage or monitor motion without manually using a camera app. It also provides camera discovery and connection checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

camsnap scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to camsnap — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually 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

Notes

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

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
