camsnap

camsnap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from openclaw/nix-openclaw-tools. It costs 29 tokens per session (472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A camera command-line tool for RTSP or ONVIF network cameras and local webcams. RTSP and ONVIF are common ways cameras provide video streams and controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover and configure cameras, save snapshots, record clips, watch for motion, capture from a Mac webcam, and move supported pan-tilt-zoom cameras.
Why use it?
It avoids needing separate camera software for basic captures, short recordings, motion monitoring, and pan-tilt-zoom control. It can also check whether a camera or its required tools are working.

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 9d 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.

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

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.
  • Motion commands verify the settled position and exit non-zero if the camera did not reach it. On-camera AI framing can override manual positioning; disable tracking if moves keep missing.

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.
