Not a library as such what I know but have you tried to make a search here on the forum? I used the ESP-EYE myself as an ip-camera. I think there is a topic somewhere describing this

I use ESP-EYE for the ip-camera, on node-red I want to be able to capture images from the ESP-EYE which will later be sent to Azure, how do I do that?

Hi Muhamad,  
I don't have an esp-eye, but I 'think' you can do it like described in this [page](https://robotzero.one/time-lapse-esp32-cameras/) (see "Time-lapse Capture via Javascript"):

1. Download and copy that script on your device.
2. Reboot your device and the the script will [start](https://github.com/robotzero1/esp32cam-timelapse/blob/master/timelapse-javascript.ino#L152) a webserver.
3. Add a http-request node to get a jpeg image  
(Via _http://\<ip\_address\_of\_your\_device/capture_) from that webserver, running on your device.

I am using ffmpeg with an exec node to capture stills from my Motion based cameras. Maybe you can adopt some of this.

I have Node-RED running on another machine, where I can capture a still image using an ffmpeg from an exec node, and process the image with [node-red-contrib-image-tools](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-image-tools). Mainly reducing size and quality for use in a Telegram bot. Here's a basic flow for that, just change IP and port of your Motion server: [{"id":"370d8c79.3d439c","type":"exec","z":"93b1388c.f7fc4","command":"ffmpeg -i http://ip:port/ -vframes 1 -f image2 -","addpay":fa…
