Saving Image from IP Camera Viewer

Hi, I’m looking for a solution to a problem that I’m having with with storing stills from an IP Camera. I have Axis F1025 camera’s and am using a F44 Control unit for product inspection. Connecting to their feeds and giving a real-time view was simple, but getting a usable file (.jpg, .bmp) is a bit harder. I’ve tried HTTPGet requests and the urllib route, but either the formatting of the axis POST isn’t compatible with the functions I’m using, or the command takes nearly 20 seconds to grab the images.

Is there a timely method for grabbing these images via ignition? My ultimate goal at the moment is to be able to encode the images and throw them in a SQL table for use later.
