I finally got a LT 4000 Pro USB camera working along with a TrendNet IP410 but I cant figure out how to save a single image file at a set interval and ftp, scp or send the image file elsewhere? Video works fine, but I need to capture a still as well and send them elsewhere.

This question gets asked over and over and nobody seems to be able to answer it. If it cannot be done, why not?

You can get a single image from zms using mode=single, all I did was grab url of camera live stream and changed jpeg to single http://localhost/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=single&monitor=1

From here hopefully you can work out a script to download it and push to desired location. I assume cURL will probably grab the file and ftp it up for you http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/04/curl-examples/
If you get it working come back and publish what you did here and in the wiki to help everyone out.

No-one who wants the feature is willing to write it or pay someone to write it for them https://www.bountysource.com/teams/zoneminder
