Camsnap
A straightforward CLI for pulling frames and video clips from RTSP and ONVIF cameras without wrestling with ffmpeg syntax yourself. You store camera credentials in a config file, then grab snapshots or timed clips with simple commands. The motion watch mode is nice if you want to trigger actions based on camera activity. It's Homebrew installable and the doctor command helps debug connectivity issues before you waste time on a long capture. Mainly useful if you're building home automation stuff or need programmatic access to IP cameras and want something more ergonomic than raw ffmpeg invocations.
