Describe the bug

hi @bropat

I’m having issues fetching the snapshot detection events: no picture property event received but device.getProperties REST call for first camera picture property gets an array of bytes that I’m able to convert to a valid jpg: array: {"data":{"type":"Buffer","data":[255,216,255,224,0,16,74,70,73,70,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,255,219,0,197,....

However device.getProperties REST call for 2nd camera returns null although I receive the screenshot on the Eufy app???

[EDIT] it appears several detections from the same camera give identical (old) picture, no picture events are received

As an alternative I still don’t understand how the station.download_image API is supposed to work and it seems I’m not the only one

Some clarification would be great thanks!

To reproduce

  1. set the station in detection mode
  2. trigger alarm from camera1 and device.getProperties > detection event + snapshot received
  3. trigger alarm from camera2 and device.getProperties > detection event received but snapshot not updated??
  4. trigger alarm from camera1 and device.getProperties > same picture as in step 2

@sythesigh many of us are waiting for this fix

@fuatakgun @bropat thanks guys! That’s sorted both cameras for me. Thank you for your hard work. Much appreciated 👍🏻😁

@fuatakgun unfortunately no 😉

Hello @bropat, Thank you for trying with the latest update, however, nothing has changed on my 2c image updates, and now my video doorbell has stopped updating the image preview also.
