I have Unifi Protect 2.8.35 on UniFi OS 3.1.15 running on UDM SE.  
Camera is a G5 Bullet  
Homey Pro 2023, 10.0.0

I’m having a issue with the snapshot image quality, the snapshot in Homey seems to have very high compression loosing accuracy for example for license plates.

When taking a snapshot from directly in Unifi Protect, the plates are readable and the file size is bigger which would make me believe that the compression rate is lower.

Is there a way to improve the image quality for snapshots in the Homey app?

**Workaround** : Enable anonymous snapshots on the camera local settings page by accessing [http://camera-ip/](http://camera-ip/) user ubnt / pass is the recovery code available in Unifi Console / Protect / Settings / System.

Now it is possible to use [Image Grabber](https://homey.app/a/image.grabber) to fetch a current snapshot from [http://camera-ip/snap.jpeg](http://camera-ip/snap.jpeg). The image is then at highest quality and full resolution.

So my flow is now:
