Capture Jpeg shortcut
Hi there, I am using Security Spy to monitor a room escape game.
During the game we grab stills from the cameras, which we later send to players.
I want to set a shortcut, which saves a jpeg from the selected camera. Crucially it would need to append a new number, or the time, to the image file-name. Is there a way to do this?
Currently, we have to select the camera; right-click; set save-as jpeg; manually change the file name to be something new each time, press save, then wait while the image saves.
It's a process that's just a bit too slow when we have other things to do at the same time.
Any ideas welcome!

The best way to do this is via a simple AppleScript. I've put together a script that will do this - see the "Button Click Image Capture" script on our AppleScript Examples page. Let me know if you need any further information.
