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

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover cameras, take still images, record clips, watch for motion, and check camera configuration; it requires ffmpeg.
Why use it?
It provides repeatable terminal commands for camera capture and motion monitoring. It can help diagnose camera connections and avoid manually recording streams for short captures.

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-hardened scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

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.

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.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
