The Get Latest Thumbnail Image API endpoint provides users with the capability to automatically retrieve the most recent thumbnail captured by cameras within their Command organization. To utilize this endpoint, users need to provide a camera ID.

Similar to the Get Thumbnail Image API, the thumbnails retrieved through this endpoint are sourced from our cloud services rather than directly from the camera. Cameras transmit thumbnails to our backend approximately every 60 seconds, with up to 6 additional thumbnails if a person or vehicle is detected during that time frame. However, if there is absolutely no motion in the scene, the camera may not transmit a new thumbnail for up to 5 minutes.

When calling this endpoint, the API response will return the latest available thumbnail. However, due to the asynchronous nature of thumbnail transmission, there may be a variance of up to 5 minutes when no motion is detected.

Upon calling the Get Latest Thumbnail Image API, users will receive the binary data of a JPEG image. Decoding and displaying this binary data can be accomplished using standard image processing tools or libraries.
