Same as Mark, except I did get an image when I clicked the link.

I must of clicked to early.  I see an image now, dark and cloudy.  But I still see the error message.

I'm trying to get this working with my IP cam, it does not produce any jpg, gif or png images.

There is a function that creates a snapshot, how would i do to get that working.

Right now I get an 007 error.

I'm not really sure, the snapshot is created with a cgi script and runs on a webserver that's in the cam.

If you right click on the snapshot/static image as displayed by the cam's webpage, does it have its own url? If you paste that URL into your browser do you get just the image?

Is it a USB cam? If so I suggest you try tincam which can capture a static image from most cams.

This is what i get when I right click on the snapshot "http://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/snapshot.cgi?user=visitor&pwd=visitor"

Yes I get an image when I paste that url into the browser.

I have put that into the script, but that does not work

On the stream I cant right click, nothing happens.

No it's not a USB cam, it's a wireless ip cam

Unless you can somehow get a static image file, e.g. .jpg, this script is not going to work for you  :(

To bad  :(

Is there any other script that could do this?
