Question

How can I get a snapshot image from Bosch IP cameras by using an URL?

Answer

To get a snapshot image from your camera, you can use the following URL:

 HTTP://camera_IP_address/snap.jpg

For example: 

The units can deliver different image sizes by providing the parameter “JpegSize” with one of the following possible values:

• S (small) 176 × 144/120 pixels (QCIF)
• M (medium) 352 × 288/240 pixels (CIF)
• L (large) 704 × 288/240 pixels (2CIF)
• XL (extra large) 704 × 576/480 pixels (4CIF)

The parameter is added to the URL in a query string appended after a question mark.

For example to get the largest image:

• HTTP://camera_IP_address/snap.jpg?JpegSize=XL

Please note that all parameter names in the query string are case-sensitive.
