I have the exact same configuration but homebridge fails to grab the snapshot for the still image. Have you ran into any issues like that?

[Living Room] Snapshot request handler provided empty image buffer!

Try changing the channel ID. It starts with 0 and increments by 1. I've just added some details if using an NVR.

@soxrok2212 I think the URL has changed. When I perform a Snapshot in the camera admin panel the URL is like this:

https://192.168.0.43/cgi-bin/api.cgi?&token=<token>&encrypt=<encrypted>

The encrypted seems to change each time.

EDIT: If I remove the stillImageSource from the config it seems to work. :)

I managed to get mine working with the following:

"stillImageSource": "-rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://user:password@0.0.0.0:554/h264Preview_01_main -vframes 1 -r 1",

Am I correct in understanding that, with the NVR version, the NVR only records video while the RLC-810A is detecting motion?
