Hello,  
All cameras show a snapshot when I ask for properties.  
Is it possible to get this snapshot (the last saved one ) or its adress in order to use in a flow or send it elsewhere ?

They are available as image tags. E.g. [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360025313254-Using-images-in-Flows](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360025313254-Using-images-in-Flows)

Thanks but that’s not what I am looking for.  
Since I have cams (like Ring’s) that don’t have a “main” or “snapshot” tag though they store the snapshots in Homey’s gallery, I’d like to access those Homey gallery snapshots.

Ring has an image tag as part of the snapshot is grabbed trigger card. Most cameras will have something similar.
