Hello!

I have multiple Hikvision IP cameras, and it seems that there is no problem to acquire sill images (JPG) instantly from these cameras by using URL
http://192.168.0.xxx/Streaming/channels/1/picture

But now I'm trying to accomplish the same thing by using Hikvision DS-7204HWI-SH network video recorder (NVR), but while I can tap into the RTSP live video stream by using following URL in VLC media player
rtsp:/user:password@192.168.0.xxx/Streaming/channels/101
I can't get single JPG snapshots from this NVR.

I have tried all kinds of URLs that works perfectly for Hikvision IP cameras, but not for NVR. I guess that they use very similar software, there should be way to aquire still images from NVR as well. Could someone help me with this issue?


SOLUTION:
You can get still image snapshot from Hikavision NVR by using following URL link:
http://user:password@192.168.0.xxx/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture

Hope it helps someone in the future. Cheers. :)

@Artanis
Does that give you a main stream picture or sub stream picture?
I can only get sub stream low resolution pictures that way from my NVR no matter what URL is used.
Directly from the cameras, I get high resolution main stream pictures.

Just wanted to add a little more info that could help others -

Using

/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture?videoResolutionWidth=1920&videoResolutionHeight=1080

seems to get the main stream resolution from the NVR for me. At first I thought it might just be resizing the sub stream, but on comparison of a snapshot from the camera itself and the NVR, it appears to be the real deal.

101 will get the main stream; 102 will get the substream.

The first number is the channel, the second number the stream (01 main, 02 sub).

Not on my Hikvision DS-7604 - I can go all the way from 101 to 199 and I still get the sub stream unless I add the width and height to the end.

Hi, im still having trouble accessing the snapshot url i can't seem to get it working on my nvr.
i could get snapshot directly from the camera but nvr is giving me some long-standing headaches with the correct syntax
snapshots are just port 80 if im correct as they just http calls?
can anyone please help with the correct syntax?
i've had a look at the hikvision http api but im not good with that to be honest.
