Why the Snapshot via API doesn't work after set Substream to MJPEG?



After set the Substream to MJPEG format, the API of Snapshot doesn't work or just work once for some entry level cameras:

because this series only support one Stream with MJPEG, snapshot is default in MJPEG (you will get jog picture after using the Command)

Solution:  Change to Higher version camera, like 5 series.
