Withe the caveat that I have not tried this - but I've done the opposite, creating video from snaphots - maybe experiment with ffmpeg to do what you need.

This could also be timed snapshots.

Thank you very much. It's really helped us. Few work examples on the below:
ffmpeg -i 'rtsp:/userassword@11.10.3.1:554/Streaming/tracks/101?starttime=20230401T102241Z' -frames:v 1 10.jpg --- some times image is broken
ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i 'rtsp:/userassword@11.10.3.1:554/Streaming/tracks/101?starttime=20230401T102241Z' -frames:v 1 -vf "select=eq(pict_type\,I)" -vsync vfr -q:v 2 20.jpg ----- image is good
