  Hi Kevin,

  The camera ID can be found in the Desktop client via the 'Camera Settings' menu tab 'Advanced' or with another API command, for example: .../ec2/getCameras and look for the relevant ID. 

  Than you want to know the time. We use the Unix Epoch Timestamp in miliseconds since we do not know in which timezone a system is and the Unix Epoch timestamp is always accurate. 

  You can calculate the Unix Epoch Timestamp with the following tool: 

  https://www.epochconverter.com/

  So your URL will be something like: 

  ip-address:portnumber/ec2/cameraThumbnail?cameraId=41412ce8-80b5-3f20-c98d-3f85548bc684&time=1562939855000
