Connect to security cameras, capture snapshots, and process video feeds with protocol support.
Connect to security cameras, capture snapshots, and process video feeds with protocol support.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill: ✅ Generates camera capture commands ✅ Guides integration with security systems ✅ Provides troubleshooting for camera issues User-driven model: User provides camera credentials (RTSP URLs, passwords) User runs capture commands User installs required tools This skill does NOT: ❌ Store camera credentials ❌ Run captures automatically without user request ❌ Access cameras without user-provided access info
Required: ffmpeg — for capture and recording Optional (user installs if needed): gphoto2 — for DSLR/mirrorless control v4l2-ctl — for USB cameras on Linux

When user requests capture: User: "Snapshot from my front door camera" Agent: "I need the RTSP URL. Format: rtsp://user:pass@ip/stream Provide it or set CAMERA_FRONT_URL in env." User: "rtsp://admin:pass@192.168.1.50/stream1" → Agent generates: ffmpeg -i "URL" -frames:v 1 snapshot.jpg
# Snapshot from RTSP (user provides URL) ffmpeg -i "$RTSP_URL" -frames:v 1 snapshot.jpg # Record 10s clip ffmpeg -i "$RTSP_URL" -t 10 -c copy clip.mp4 # Webcam snapshot (macOS) ffmpeg -f avfoundation -i "0" -frames:v 1 webcam.jpg # Webcam snapshot (Linux) ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -frames:v 1 webcam.jpg
