I have the LTS LTN8916 NVR, and finally figured out how to pull still images off the connected cameras.
The manual shows this format:
However, that's for direct IP access, and my cameras are behind the NVR, and on a different subnet. They can supposedly be directly reached with the "virtual host" feature, but I could not make that work to fetch pictures.
After wandering around some other Hikvision NVR threads, I stumbled on an incantation that lets me pull images off the cameras, even though they are behind the NVR.

- "201" is the channel number, and the "01" is disregarded, as far as I can tell. So, 201 - 299 would all retrieve the image from camera 2.
- Presumably you can adjust the resolution numbers to something higher, supported by the camera.
