can i get a snapshot from a C40 via SSH ?

[Thijs Van Severen]

Hi

Is it possible to get a snapshot from a C40 system using SSH or wget ?

we are making some major changes in our lab and I have a C40 system that i want to set up in our Lab to film the progress of the renovations

the idea is to grab 1 frame every 20sec or so and use these to create a timelapse video of the renovations

with other cameras (IPcams and USB cams) i was able to do this with some very simple scripts using wget or some other basic tools, and i would like to do the same with the C40 since it has superior video quality

is there is a simple way to get a frame from the C40 ?

if there is a direct url for the snapshot image i could use wget to get it, or ...

all tips are welcome!

grtz

looking at the /dev dir i cant really see any video device ...

any tips ?
