Need Snapshot URL for TVT-rebranded NVR

For years I've owned a TVT-based NVR with 1 internal HDD and 4 analog cameras attached to it. Never have I been able to obtain image snapshots without opening the browser and manually clicking a control.

I'd like to be able -- if it's at all possible with this model -- to capture JPG snapshots using an HTTP/GET command, something very common (as you know) with stand-alone cameras and many NVRs on the market.

Trouble is, none of the API documentation I've seen for TVT-manufactured models, and none of the forums that come up when I google the question have the answer. I've tried dozens and dozens of URLs with no success.

NOTE: I'm an old techie, well-versed in things like Ports, Forwarding, telnet, so please don't hold back!

Here's my hardware info:

  • Version
  • Device Name EDVR
    Device Type
    Device ID 0
    Video Format NTSC
    Hardware Version 10740.0.15.Q1-DTLAA
    MCU Version ---
    Kernel Version E6J3-D8L4
    Firmware Version 3.3.0.P-3521-00
    Launch Date 2014-09-11
THANKS FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS!

P.S. In a perfect world, I'd also ask how one can obtain updated firmware, but that's another bottomless rabbit hole, evidently. Nobody from TVT will even respond to email requests for guidance. :-(
